Write to your MP to help stop the Online Safety Bill

The Online Safety Bill is set to return to Parliament on 5th December. Time is running out to secure the privacy of your personal messages. ❌ Private chat platforms, such as WhatsApp, Signal, Facebook Messenger and Telegram, will also fall under the bill’s mandate. ❌ Under a recent amendment to the bill, they will have to scan for government-specified forms of illegal content using Home Office-approved systems. It is a deeply intrusive form of surveillance that will compromise the end-to-end encryption that currently keeps our chats confidential and secure.
