Stop the Online Forums Bill 2017-18 becoming law.

Closed 4,180 signatures

What the petition asks

Thought control by politicians, backed by the main stream media has led to ever more sinister intrusions into people's freedom to criticize public policy and assemble into campaign groups.
By requiring platforms to publish information about closed forums and making Administrators responsible for content is Orwellian and anti-democratic.
