#OnlineSafetyBill bingo
Today sees the second reading of the UK’s Online Safety Bill, before the House of Commons.
Here’s my bingo card:
Neil’s Online Safety Bill bingo | ||
---|---|---|
lawful but awful | wild west | big tech |
flick of a switch | make directors personally liable | oh no the dark web |
what’s illegal offline must be illegal online | rogue algorithms | end-to-end encryption |
Here’s my anti-bingo card:
Neil’s Online Safety Bill anti-bingo | ||
---|---|---|
prior restraint | massive burden | any indication of realistic costs |
MPs’ own social media comments | no general obligation to monitor | recognition of the tens of thousands of in-scope sites |
funding better policing for online crimes | recognising that age is a poor proxy for sensibilities / “children” covers a huge range | a definition of “harm” capable of ready application |
Why not play along at home?
