*Thursday
9 June 2021*. at *16:00 BST* (15:00 UTC) the I*nternet Society UK England
Chapter* <https://isoc-e.org/> hosts a webinar and roundtable '*Understanding
the UK Online Safety Bill
<https://isoc-e.org/understanding-the-uk-online-safety-bill/>*'. On 12 May
2021 the UK Government published the *draft Online Safety Bill
<https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/draft-online-safety-bill>*,
calling it a "manifesto commitment to make the UK the safest place in the
world to be online while defending free expression." The Bill contains
several proposals including some suggesting that Encryption should be
weakened through various methods. This has generated much pushback from UK
entities and the Internet Society has drafted an online letter to members
of the UK Parliament, co-signed by dozens of organisations, that “*End-to-End
Encryption keeps us safe*”. This letter will be published shortly. This
webinar and roundtable will explore the more controversial aspects of the
Online Safety Bill, and why there is so much pushback to some of its
articles.
