Welcome to the UK where it’s now official government policy that you CAN’T publish “misinformation”, but The Guardian, the BBC, Disney and Netflix CAN, say Off Guardian. As we reported in September 2023, the Bill is a piece of legislation that comes under the guise of being predominantly for the safety of children in an attempt to protect them from online grooming and abuse and also to limit the reach of terrorist propaganda.
This is the use of a propaganda technique known as “card-stacking.” The government has presented something everyone can agree upon, for example, child abuse is evil and children need protecting, to induce people, including our representatives in Parliament, to believe that the legislation is necessary.

This is not the real objective of the bill, this is simply a tactic used to deter people from fighting against the bill which really has the primary focus of narrative control.
The bill is essentially, a direct attack on social media platforms, or more specifically the content that can be seen and shared on them and will enable the government to blackmail social media companies to reduce their reach, de-platform, and criminalise views that disagree with the government narrative.

The Expose reported the parallels with Orwell’s dystopian 1984 and also the danger to our freedom of speech which has already been steadily eroding. Source
Off Guardian further this and say that the
“UK’s “Online Safety Act” OFFICIALLY Grants MSM Permission to Publish Lies.”
Yes, it’s true – the recently signed “Online Safety Act” brands the publication of “false information” a criminal offense punishable by up to a year in prison……unless you’re an MSM outlet, when it’s totally fine.
Think even the corrupt & bloated criminal class that rules over us would never dare be that blatant?
Take a look at section 179 making it illegal to publish false information with intent to cause harm:
…and that’s without even getting into OfCom’s “select committee”, or how they choose to define “misinformation” (s. 152)
Welcome to the modern definition of “freedom of speech”, where the MSM are directly and explicitly permitted to “knowingly publish false information with intent to cause non-trivial harm”, and you can be sent to jail for a year for calling out their lies.
Oh, and it looks like our friends across the pond might not be far behind. The Big Tech Senate hearings started yesterday, and social media executives are already throwing their support behind the new “Kids Online Safety Act”.
With the EU’s own Digital Services Act coming into force later this month, and all the focus on “misinformation and disinformation” at Davos two weeks ago, we can see the real crackdown on internet free speech is about to kick into gear.
