Dear Supporters,

UK MPs have now been given broad powers without meaningful amendments to shut down websites, search engines, games, and effectively restrict real use of the internet.

This is not a minor policy shift.

This is a direct attack on freedom of information and individual independence in the Digital Age.

What This Means

Under these expanding powers, authorities can:

• Shut down or restrict access to websites
• Pressure platforms and search engines to remove or limit content
• Extend control into gaming, forums, and online communities
• Enforce age-verification systems that require identification to access legal content

This moves the internet away from open access and toward controlled access.

The False Justification

These powers are being justified under the familiar claim:

“Protecting children.”

But protecting children does not require:

• Restricting adults from accessing lawful content
• Demanding private identification for basic internet use
• Forcing submission of valuable and sensitive biological data and documents

This is not protection.

This is control.

What Is Being Lost

The internet was built on:

• Freedom of information
• Open communication
• Individual independence

These policies undermine all three.

When access to information requires identification,

freedom becomes conditional.

When speech is monitored and restricted,

independence disappears.

Take Action

We cannot allow this model to spread further.

If you believe in protecting both children and freedom:

• Sign the petition
• Share this update widely
• Contact your representatives
• Educate others on what these laws actually do

Read the Digital Liberty Act and use it as a framework to push back against these policies before they become permanent.

In defense of freedom of information and digital independence.
