Life Out Loud #2: Why We Must Challenge The 'Netsafe' Code (28/ 01/ 22)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Netsafe - the self-professed 'online safety organisation' - has recently released a draft code that would see more content on digital platforms removed under the guise of hate speech and misinformation. While the code would be adopted voluntarily by platforms, it would target speech that is not illegal. Worried? You bloody well should be! This code will quickly be weaponised and politicised to become a tool of cancel culture and the woke mob.
Jonathan Ayling sits down with Ani O'Brien and Stephen Franks for the second episode of our new LOL (Life Out Loud) format - in which a trio of board members and/ or special guests will discuss the weeks most urgent topics. Today it's why the Free Speech Union is so very concerned with this code, and how you can use our easy online submission tool to take a stand against it www.FreeSpeechSubmission.com
