Replying to Avatar Séimí Mac Síomón

I'm firmly of the position that the Online Harms Bill is one of the most draconian pieces of legislation I have seen in a while, and if I am to take "survivor" as someone who has lived through abuse, then I would question the conviction of the British ruling class to protect anyone from abuse , given that they have habitually covered up the abuse of children and adults in the past. This isn't about the protection of people from abuse , this is about the expansion of powers and surveillance, and I think that , to borrow from your words, it is disingenuous to act otherwise.

I don't think that it is productive to treat one of the most harmful pieces of legislation to private life in Britain as a "necessary evil" as you seem to be putting it forward as.

I say that respectfully , in the spirit of debate, rather than personally , I hope you understand.

I understand your concerns. I share some of your concerns. I can’t change the legislation passing but what I can do is change how I react to changes as a survivor advocate.

I think that encouraging Nostr for those who are negatively impacted by the changes is a good pathway forward. 💜
