‘SLIPPERY SLOPE’ | Fears of overreach as Labour launches social media crackdown after Belfast attack

Labour will crack down on Britons’ social media use in times of “crisis”, the Technology Secretary has threatened.

Technology Secretary Liz Kendall has vowed to strengthen the Online Safety Act, granting Ofcom enhanced powers to throttle social media users during periods of heightened tension.

The proposed amendments come in response to the knife attack in Belfast and the ensuing chaos across the city.
