> The Online Harms White Paper was released by the UK state on 08/04/2019\. The state claims that it is all about ‘keeping us safe’ online and especially keeping children safe online. Which is a very laudable objective. Who could argue with that? The problem is that the Online Harms White Paper **effectively establishes the legal framework for the censorship of the Internet** and takes a sledge hammer to any notion that we have free speech, or a democracy, in the UK.   **It is precisely the kind of proposed legislation you would expect to see from a dictatorship.** If it passes into law, it will create one in the UK. No matter who you vote for.
