LONDON Britain s proposed new internet law entails a government power grab with worrying implications for freedom of speech, according to civil liberties groups, academics and the tech industry. The groups are concerned the proposed Online Safety Bill would hand to Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden disproportionate powers in the name of protecting users from harmful content. The Bill allow him to modify a code of practice the blueprint created by the regulator Ofcom for how tech companies should protect users  to ensure it reflects government policy. Critics say such powers, which were set out in a draft of the proposed law published in May and due for imminent scrutiny by MPs and peers, could undermine the regulator s independence and potentially politicize the regulation of the internet.
