Update: The United Kingdom’s controversial new “Online Safety Act” was advertised as a means to prevent children from being exposed to graphic content on the internet. In reality, it is being used to hide the tyranny of the state and the ongoing invasion.

Footage of ongoing anti-migration protests in the UK has been blocked on X for British users after the country’s controversial new “Online Safety Act” came into effect on Friday.
The Act, passed by the previous Conservative government, was intended to prevent children from being exposed to pornography and graphic content on the internet, but it already appears to be being used for a very different purpose.
British users shared screenshots of messages they received when they tried to access footage of anti-migration protests that began when an Ethiopian migrant sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl.
British users received the following message: “Due to local laws, we are temporarily restricting access to this content until X estimates your age.”
Before the introduction of the Online Safety Act, X stated that it would use various methods, including “email-based estimation” to assess whether a user is likely to be an adult or not.
The Online Safety Act mandates fines of £18 million or up to 10% of a company’s turnover if a company violates the Act.
On X on Saturday, Elon Musk said the purpose of the Act is “suppression of the people.”
In a statement, the UK-based Free Speech Union said, “Our fears appear to have been vindicated on the very first day of the Online Safety Act’s enactment.
“If you have a standard X account in the UK—presumably the majority of British users—it appears that you may not be able to see any protest footage that contains violence. We’re aware of one censored post that shows an arrest being made.
“We warned repeatedly about how censorious this piece of legislation would be.”
An online petition to repeal the Act has so far received over 160,000 signatures, meaning Parliament must now consider its motion for debate.
