REPORT: Censorship in the UK has just taken a terrifying new leap—one that could unravel the very fabric of free speech.

The “Online Safety Act” has come into effect, promising a “safer” internet. But in reality, it’s an unprecedented power grab disguised as a child protection law. Instead of protecting children, it forces companies to police and censor online content, eroding privacy and free speech like never before.

Encrypted platforms like WhatsApp and Signal are now required to monitor user chats for “illegal content,” putting end-to-end encryption in jeopardy. But make no mistake—this law isn’t about safety. It’s about controlling the flow of information and silencing dissent. Enacting it under the banner of protecting children only makes it harder to expose what it really is.

Even worse, this Orwellian law could set a global precedent, pushing censorship worldwide under the guise of safety. Platforms are now forced to remove “harmful” content—even when it’s perfectly legal—and without a clear definition of what’s considered “harmful.” Expect automated censorship of everything from political speech to satire, art, and even everyday conversations.

This doesn’t stop with just Facebook or Wikipedia—it applies to every website where users interact, giving governments the power to dictate what’s “safe” online, silencing opposition, and tightening their grip on free speech.

This is leading us straight towards a China-style social credit system for the entire world.

How much longer can we stay silent? The consequences are absolutely chilling. Watch @zeeemedia’s report as she reveals what’s really at stake—while you still can.
