Peers To Work With Government Over Online Safety Bill Safeguards
Peers have welcomed the Government’s efforts to include protections for journalism in the Online Safety Bill and look forward to “continuing dialogue” to ensure the safeguards are watertight and practical.
In a letter to Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden, Lord Gilbert of Panteg, Chair of the Lords Communications and Digital Committee said the UK has an opportunity to “lead the world in human-rights based internet regulation” but continuing dialogue was needed to get it right.
“We welcome the Government’s decision to subject the draft Bill to pre-legislative scrutiny and hope to contribute to that committee’s work. In our forthcoming report we will set out in detail how we believe the Government can protect freedom of expression while also protecting users from harm,” Lord Gilbert said.

Peers have warned they “remain to be convinced” that the draft Online Safety Bill will not stop journalistic content being restricted.
The bill includes a statutory duty designed to stop the biggest social media giants from removing journalistic content via sweeping algorithm restrictions or moderation decisions. They will have to ensure the “importance of the free expression of journalistic content is taken into account”.
However peers in the Lords Communications and Digital Committee have now written to Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden with fears the bill does not go far enough to protect the industry.
Lord Gilbert of Panteg, the Conservative chair of the committee, said: “We welcome the principle in clause 14 of the draft bill that journalistic content should receive special protection, although we remain to be convinced that the draft bill would not lead to access to such content being restricted.”
