The government trailed #onlineharms with a call to ensure for the:
"Same rules online as Offline"
So, how is the Online Harms White Paper doing with that?
1 Government wants a kind of content banned.
Offline: a law must be passed to make the content unlawful
Online: a regulator asks a company to ban it.
#onlineharms
2 A post maybe violates the rules
Offline: somebody needs to take you to court
Online: a company comes along and takes it down
#onlineharms
3 A computer thinks you violated the rules
Offline: no, this isn't a thing
Online: your speech is deleted before it is ever seen
#onlineharms
4 You want to defend your right to publish legal content
Offline: publish and be damned
Online: tough luck, terms and conditions apply, as amended by the government
