British users of the X social media platform have reported being prevented from viewing anti-mass migration protests after the Online Safety Act censorship law came into effect for social media companies on Friday.
The draconian Online Safety Act, passed by the previous Conservative Party, is already appearing to have a negative impact on free speech in Britain.
