  • Summary

  • Hidden under the cloak of online anonymity, individuals in the UK have been charged and convicted of inciting and encouraging criminal behaviour without actively getting involved themselves.

    Ken Macdonald and Tim Owen analyse the debate triggered in the wake of the August 2024 riots across the UK; should we and how do we regulate the internet more closely without infringing the fundamental right to freedom of expression?


    Ken and Tim debate the differences between the US and European approaches to regulating the internet, with a focus on Section 230 of the US Federal Communications Act, recent decisions of the US Supreme Court and the EU Digital Services Act which is designed to prevent illegal and harmful activities online and the spread of disinformation. They also discuss the Online Safety Act 2023 and the challenge of balancing freedom of speech with the need to combat harmful content online.
