The latest survey says that 20% of people still think that same sex relationships are wrong. Should they mind their own business and keep their views to themselves, or should they be allowed to express them, often using insulting words like 'unnatural', 'perverted', 'sick' etc.
Well, under the Online Safety Bill, that post of yours would be banned, because you've just used the words 'unnatural', 'perverted' and 'sick' to describe same sex relationships.

Does this help you to understand the worrying nature of this Bill? You wouldn't be able to escape the censors by writing 'Some may say' or suchlike to get away with insults.

People will be scared to say anything in case some snowflake deliberately misinterprets it and free speech will be dead. This proposed legislation is OTT and is definitely a step too far and it should be killed at birth. Oh, dear - hope that didn't upset anyone....
