| Hall referred to several notable incidents from recent years, such as the case of Jaswant Singh Chail, who was influenced by a chatbot to stage an assassination attempt on the late Queen Elizabeth II on Christmas Day 2021, or that of Dylan Earl, the 21-year-old from Leicestershire who was recruited by the Wagner Group, a proscribed Russian mercenary organisation that acts on behalf of the Kremlin, and manipulated to conduct an arson attack at a London warehouse containing materials bound for Ukraine.“In the last month, for example, my special adviser, Adam Hadley, found a Facebook account openly identifying itself as affiliated to Islamic State, openly posting an instructional document on the ‘deadliest places for stabbing’ on a body diagram, which had been online for at least a month and remained accessible despite being reported to Facebook itself,” he said.“The Online Safety Act relies on tech platforms to apply safety duties,” said Hall. “Ofcom’s role is to monitor those safety duties, but tech companies make it very difficult for regulators or researchers to monitor their output at scale. And nothing in [the] Online Safety Act allows the authorities to take down content or to order tech companies to take it down. But despite this, you will continue to hear ministers saying that the Online Safety Act makes the UK the safest place to be online.”He also called for the government to examine whether or not the banning mechanisms deployed by the government against groups such as Palestine Action can be used “without unintended consequences” against online movements that venerate mass murderers such as Anders Breivik and inspire copycat attacks, but do not amount to organisations, and to consider whether or not the UK’s pre-digital surveillance laws are in fact restricting the authorities’ ability to use publicly available information given up freely by ordinary people – such as their location or interests – in their work.“However, I think the UK needs to hold its nerve in face of compelling challenges from free speech absolutists, generally based on principles in the US Constitution, that in effect consider all regulation of the internet a bad thing,” said Hall. “I think that is not only naïve … but also ultimately undemocratic, because it suggests that we as society through our laws cannot assert control over our digital lives despite the harms, especially to children.” -- ???????? | |||
