The Online Safety Act was introduced by the previous, Conservative government; it does not have a political partisan element to it.
While fundamentally flawed legislation like the OSA is bound to produce chilling effects, I can’t really sympathise with the gutter-press journalists at The Canary who can’t even tell the truth about the situation: the headline and article aren’t “blocked by the act”; they are age-gated by twitter’s interpretation of the act. This is not the same thing in the slightest.
