The U.K. Parliament has passed the Online Safety Bill (OSB), which says it will make the U.K. โ€œthe safest placeโ€ in the world to be online. In reality, the OSB will lead to a much more censored, locked-down internet for British users. The bill could empower the government to undermine not just the privacy and security of U.K. residents, but internet users worldwide.
