The UK government scrapped plans to define and regulate “legal but harmful speech” from the Online Safety Bill, as it prepares to bring the long-awaited and controversial legislation back to parliament next week.
By making the changes, the government said it hopes to allay the concerns of free speech campaigners that the bill risked causing unintended consequences such as criminalising “legal and legitimate speech.” At the same time, ministers are seeking to ease passage of the contentious bill through parliament so that it can achieve its primary goal of protecting young people online.
The proposals have been in development for more than five years under seven Conservative Party culture secretaries, though the legislation itself was only introduced to parliament in March.
