Petition to stop the new online safety bill UK

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe the Government's draft Online Safety Bill poses one of the greatest threats to free speech of any law in the UK in living memory. We are calling on the Government to remove provisions within the Bill which specifically targets sex workers ads online, sex work is partly legal in the uk.

Sex work is partly legal in the UK and taking away the rights of sex workers to promote online will push us into illegal routes of sex working (on the streets). We want rights and not rescue, stop conflating sex work and sex trafficking
