Kit Knightly – Off-Guardian April 4, 2025
The UK’s Online Safety Act officially came into force two weeks ago, and they have wasted no time using it.
Alternative social media network Gab has already been threatened with a massive fine for its supposed failures to “police speech” on its platform. Anecdotes are piling up, small forums and communities blocking access from the UK for fear of attracting OfCom’s ire and the like.
But rest assured, an OfCom spokesperson promised the Telegraph they would “only take action where it is proportionate and appropriate”. So that’s alright.
The Financial Times headlines…
UK to crack down on illegal content across social media
It’s a bland piece of dishonesty by omission, pretending to objectivity even as it hides behind language. They only specifically mention child porn and terrorism and other criminal behaviour as “illegal content”, but don’t mention that the act is about far more than child porn and drugs.
It has entire sections dedicated to “false communication offenses” – meaning publishing material the state has deemed “misinformation”, and a second section specifically and explicitly giving newspapers and media companies immunity from those offences.
Nobody is talking about any of that, though, because fortunately enough Adolescence came out at the exact same time the act came into force, and has totally steered the national conversation on this topic while flooding social media with “concerned mothers” who really want the government to “take action”.
That’s right, the formerly-creeping now-galloping authoritarianism is a great thing because we need to save our children from…whatever.
From across the pond, Donald Trump and JD Vance are happily playing heel on this issue, with officials from their administration (allegedly) suggesting OSA impacts on free expression might threaten a trade deal or result in more dreaded tariffs.
This is all positioning, of course. It’s standard stuff. Trump is against the OSA, so to millions of entirely brainwashed people, that automatically makes it A Good Thing.
It also allows for editorials like this one in the Guardian, headlining “The Guardian view on online safety: don’t let Trump dictate the terms of debate”. Now Keir Starmer can “stand up to the bully Trump” by refusing to “water down” the “protections”.
Now Keir Starmer can “stand up to the bully Trump” by refusing to “water down” the “protections”.
The predictable charities and pundits are all “appalled” at the idea of “watering down” the OSA “protections”, and their suggested alternative – which won’t happen – is a complete social media ban for children.
They’ve tried that gambit in Australia already, and it’s not really a social media ban so much as it’s an excuse to end online anonymity.
How do you ban children? You can’t, not without making everyone prove their age.
The “compromise” option is that we don’t ban children, but then we would need to know who is and isn’t a child in order to best protect them from radicalization and hate speech…so everyone better prove their age.
And, of course, all this needing to prove your age stuff flows neatly into a government-issued digital identity.
Some people even suggest that it should be illegal for anyone under 16 to own a smartphone.
How do you enforce that? Well, you’d need to prove your age (and therefore your identity) to own a cell phone, so buh-bye pre-paid anonymous phones. (They really don’t mind leaning into the “Oi mate, you got a license for that?” meme, apparently.)
Usually I would dismiss this as one of those ridiculously extreme positions designed to make the actual goal seem more palatable, but I could actually see this one going ahead. After all, we don’t want kids wandering around with access to the internet 24/7, where they could fact-check teachers in real time for example.
And because it’s just rules, and they love having more rules.
That’s our “new normal” in a nutshell, isn’t it? More and more rules for rules’ sake.
OffGuardian will carry on warning anyone who’ll listen while we can, but with the Online Safety Act out in force and taking no prisoners, who can say how long that might be?

Key statistics and figures
75,000 children go missing each year
Someone is reported missing every 90 seconds in the UK
Over 170,000 people are reported missing every year
There are nearly 350,000 reported missing incidents every year
How many people go missing each year?
Missing people: 75,000 are children
Missing incidents: over 216,000 relate to missing children
Looked after children are at high risk of being reported missing.
1 in 10 looked-after children are reported missing compared to 1 in 200 children.
Where do they go?
The Bible tells us Jews would sacrifice their first born child for wealth
and the recent tunnels exposure in new york from the synagogue to the childrens home
is very telling.
Winston Churchill in w w 2 was reported by Dennis wheatley and Dion fortune
to be sacrificing small boys on the south coast with Aleister Crowley
Missing national child figures are protecting jews with the official secrets act
All just to protect the jews and their on-going slaughter of innocent people.
If the scum at the top really cared about people the first thing they would do is to totally ban porn on line. But will they that? When a jew “rabbi” and it’s tranny “partner” own Pornhub !!!
Pigs will fly sooner.
PIED PIPER
The news yesterday that 17000 police officers will be sacked
to save money for the migrants, hasa deeper meaning
London is the stabbings capital of europe
Black migrant gangs terrorise london with walking out of stores and shops
with armfuls of stolen items.
Experts say the british folk have had enough and a civil way may be on the way
with many service men in the lead.
The jewish gang leader Peter Rachman who took over from Jack Spot and then passed the criminal empire
onto the kray twins, rachman would pay disrupters to go heckle at speeches and rallies trying to turn the conversation
a different way, i have a feeling that the chap known as ” the welsh turd” carl jones is one of these as is tommy robisnon
they are pied pipers
You know they’re lying anyway because child porn and drugs have been against the law in any civilized nation since the start. Online or anywhere else.
No, they want to get regime critics rounded up into gulags, and this is how it starts. It starts with Russell Brand because he lost lots of his fans, so they figure no one will mind if they frog march him to the camps.
This is how it starts.
LOL…
So now of course, when the lags in govern-mente and their affiliates,which of course has had many pro pedophile advocates from the labore and tall story parties, imbecile swizzlers like Hewitt, Harman, Hodge, Janner, lol Brittan etc etc etc..
Kidnap and traffic children and store them in dolphin square with MIslys 5’s help via their BBc fronts like child line (more swizzlers like fester rancid)…or their media traffikers… like ‘now then, now then!’ Jimmy Saville row..
they can arrest you more easily when you complain about it online in the comment section of the Daily Fail..because the children do need protecting, but mainly from them and their policy…but more importantly they need to protect themselves from scrutiny and exposure to the Truth..because they may well end up in a dungeon..
the worst form of tyranny is always a moral one..and that’s what you have..
THANKYOU IRELAND
Protest held outside McDonald’s outlets by pro-Palestinian folk Against israeli terrorism and the Genocide
Story by Staff Reporter • A protest was held outside a McDonald’s fast food restaurant in Belfast organised by pro-Palestinian activists. Against Genocide gathered outside the outlet on the Andersonstown Road in west Belfast on Friday evening.
Other protests were planned to take place at other outlets in Belfast and in Mid-Ulster. a group earlier launched a poster campaign aimed at informing of the genocoide programme to youth clubs and schools.
Posters printed urge people to boycott McDonald’s after a franchisee in the country distributed free meals to the Israeli military.
McDonald’s was subject to an intense boycott after this happened in October, 2023, particularly in the Middle East and other Arab countries, over Mcdonalds donations to the israeli army
“Government is best which governs least.” Henry David Thoreau, 1849.
The Online Safety Act (amended) is the most repressive and censorial statute of my life time. It is remarkable for its extreme vagueness, with undefined terms abounding throughout its text; for its privileged exemptions and for its supranational, sovereign reach.
A parliamentary majority of 170+ seats ought not to be license for tyranny but it is, if you’re in thrall to the globalist paradigm.
The BBC, ITV, channels 4 and 5 all have immunity from the strictures of the Act, so any public objections to broadcasts featured on the mainstream media are legally unviable. Propagandism and deceit cannot be challenged on state-captured platforms. This is shockingly and brazenly dictatorial, when government exempts itself from the censure of its own legislation.
Among the provisions of the Act, there is a section warning that websites based elsewhere than in the UK, will be liable for sanction if their readership includes a “significant” number of UK nationals. No effort is made to define “significant” and so its amplitude, ultimately, is likely to be determined by precedent in a common law court. I cannot see this as anything other than a premeditated mechanic. Government will be able to invoke the separation of powers and exculpate itself of jurisdictional responsibility. Ofcom will prosecute. Show trials await us.
It should be noted, with some alarm, that the Act targets user-based content deemed to present a “significant risk of harm” to UK nationals. This means that Rixon Stewart is now legally liable for remarks that commenters make at this site. Censorship by proxy may nullify free speech online. I wonder what Rixon’s thoughts are? Does he have a contingency plan or does this inevitably mean that readers’ contributions will, henceforth, be heavily redacted or rejected in entirety? Let us know, Rixon.
In 1849, Henry David Thoreau exhorted his readership to “resist government when its tyranny or its inefficiency are great and unendurable.” It’s now 2025.
THE THIN END OF THE RACIST WEDGE
Christians protest outside school after Easter service scrapped
Story by Jose Ramos •
Christian protesters standing up for their faith clashed with parents outside a school which recently scrapped Easter celebrations in order to demonstrate against racism toward christians
The faithful gathered outside with banners reading ‘Headteacher Stephanie Mander wants to cancel Easter – let’s cancel her!’
after the announcement. They argued with people during teaching hours about ‘wokeism’ and what they claim is the ‘racist erasure of Christianity’ in schools.
The crowd of around 50 protesters some christian some muslim and some no religion spoke out as eight police officers stood by outside Norwood Primary School in Eastleigh, Hampshire.
The school sent a letter to parents and carers informing them that neither their Easter Bonnet Parade nor their Easter Service would be held this year.
But many parents reacted with fury, which forced the school to clarify their position, on exactly whose idea this was
Speaking of “proving your age,” now I know why YouTube posts free-to-watch movies “rated TV 14” or “rated R” when many “rated R” movies are anything but rated-R type movies (with sex scenes and violence, that is)…because whule these bogus “TV-14” and “rated R” movies do not have sex scenes and violence (yes some do, but still…not exactly porn), they are rated this way because they want to SURVEIL who is watching these politically incorrect movies by forcing one to “sign in to confirm your age.” So that while a disturbing movie, “Disturbia,” is “rated PG 13” (when is should be rated R), a politically incorrect movie, “V for Vendetta” is “rated R”….and when will Talmudic Jewry that runs the entertainment industry force me to “sign in to confirm your age” to watch a movie about Jesus Christ? You know, that “sorceror and blasphemer”?
that jd vance guy look like someone transplanted a pigs head on a human body. ugly looking thing. looks like some unshaven pig
Do you feel safer yet with the “government” cartel pissing in your face again?
Revolution Now. And a whole lot of hangings.
As the “Online Safety Act” is officially launched at “citizens” now some might wonder when it will become comprehensive for Polly-ticians to wear unisex attires with labels which clearly state the type of sponsoring that pays their extraordinary baksheeshes on the side, and are used for “lawmaking and Polly-ticking” in the whorehouses of the skull-capped whirled. Sort of like it is accustomed for sponsoring in Formula 1.
British Polli-ticians saving the children YET again for the Come on Wealth, the royal leader in child molesting, sales and sacrifice since the takeover of the greedy Queerdom through traditionalists and their offerings – burning little pommy (and other) kiddies in holy furnaces for kosher prosperity or pimping them out for the diversion of multiculturalism or just for fun and/or parts.
Wont be long now until only political correct citizens will have a place in British realms. For the rest: Save the world and finally F.O. – or as an alternative if YOU are willing to quit, call the Government Quitline – at your (and the Queens) service 24/7!
“Health and safety” is Disease and Death
