The Guardian has found a way to compare Andrew Bridgen to Andrew Tate (other than their first names), and somehow uses it all to justify beefing up the Online Safety Bill.

Michelle Donelan, the Digital Secretary, has unveiled a new version of the Online Safety Bill today. How much better will free speech be protected in the ‘Donelan compromise’? Let’s take a deep dive.

It’s great news that the Government has promised to remove the clause in the Online Safety Bill dealing with content that’s ‘legal but harmful’ to adults. But that’s far from the only risk the Bill poses to free speech.

According to several newspaper reports, the Government is planning to scrap the clause in the Online Safety Bill designed to protect adults from ‘legal but harmful’ content – a huge victory for free speech campaigners.

The problem with the Online Safety Bill is that it doesn’t just aim to protect children but grown-ups as well. Adults should be able to judge for themselves just how dangerous it is to watch videos by Russell Brand.

The Online Safety Bill, with its requirement to censor 'legal but harmful' content, would only reinforce the growing tendency of news and social media to repeat Government-approved propaganda.

In the latest episode of the Weekly Sceptic, the talking points are YouTube cancelling Russell Brand, Kanye West and Candace Owens checkmating the internet with ‘racism’ and whether Toby is Tory scum.

PayPal and other finance companies could be banned from blocking the accounts of campaign groups for political reasons under a new law being proposed by MPs that the Government is said to be "likely to accept".

In the official launch episode of our new podcast, the Weekly Sceptic, we discuss Lee Cain's attachment to lockdowns, whether or not Rings of Power is woke, the suppression of ivermectin and Israel's vaccine data shame.

Steven Edgington writes in the Telegraph about the moral panic over 'disinformation' and the clueless Conservatives handing their ideological enemies a nuclear weapon in the form of the Online Censor Conservatives Bill.
