Technology Secretary Peter Kyle urged Nigel Farage to apologize after suggesting his opposition to the online safety law aligns him with sex offenders. Farage's Reform UK party aims to scrap the law, arguing it doesn't protect children and suppresses free speech. Kyle defended the law as essential for online safety, stating that abandoning it would side with predators. The new rules require stricter age verification measures and impose significant fines for non-compliance, but concerns arise as more users adopt VPNs to bypass protections.
Kyle stated, "If you want to overturn the Online Safety Act you are on the side of predators. It is as simple as that."
Farage described Kyle's comments as "absolutely disgusting" and questioned, "Just how low can the Labour government sink?"
Last week, the new online safety rules came into force aimed at preventing children from seeing harmful or inappropriate content.
Reform UK argues that the online safety law does not protect children and instead suppresses free speech.
