As my old boss would say "a classic example of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing".

Except in this instance there isn’t even a “little knowledge”

Thats the final straw, you have been warned time and time again about this, no one is "harrassing" you.
You will not continue to use this forum to further whatever agenda you have. You have been removed from this topic, you're lucky its not the whole forum.

That is good news and they have highlighted what as been seen as a major problem of the bill

Under Clause 9(2(a), tech companies are required to “prevent users encountering” any illegal content. The only way to ensure that they are prevented, is to stop it ever appearing on the platform in the first place (the economics of the internet mean you can only viably do this via automation / AI). This is said to represent “a sea change in the way public communication and debate are regulated in this country“.

As well as being potentially unlawful, these proposals threaten the free speech of millions of people in the UK. It is yet another example of the government expecting Parliament to pass a law without filling in the detail.

I have said all along that this bill will threaten free speech. I feel sorry for forums that are run by a small team who will have to check every single post before it goes live on there forum. To be honest it will kill a lot of forums off which is a shame.
