British users of the X social media platform have reported being prevented from viewing anti-mass migration protests after the Online Safety Act censorship law came into effect for social media companies on Friday.
The draconian Online Safety Act, passed by the previous Conservative Party, is already appearing to have a negative impact on free speech in Britain. Pitched to the public as a means of preventing children from seeing pornography or other graphic content on the internet, critics of the legislation have long warned that it would be used to stifle political discourse.
As it came into force on Friday, British users shared screenshots of messages they received from X while attempting to view footage from recent anti-mass migration protests, which have sprung up in the wake of an Ethiopian living at taxpayer expense in a migrant hotel allegedly sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Epping.
“Due to local laws, we are temporarily restricting access to this content until X estimates your age,” was the message users in the UK reportedly received when attempting to view footage of protests that contained violence.
