Petition to Repeal the Online Safety Act

There is a petition to repeal the Online Safety Act, which has a good name but creates a system where we are trading off encryption for backdoors and privacy for age verification. This is literally the opposite of "Online Safety" and I believe it threatens our digital rights as UK citizens.

I'd like to encourage everyone who believes in digital safety and privacy to sign it. The petition is sitting right now at 180k signatures—already past the point for it to be considered for debate in parliament, but higher support would still flag the urgency and importance of this.

I think the act has merits, there's just not enough exceptions. The wording is so vague it considers a Minecraft server used by a group of friends who know eachother in the real world as being the same as fucking Facebook.
