The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal ruled that was improper.
Now he’s appealing.

We are supposed to be surprised when he says he plans to abandon Internet Safety for kids and illegal content.
Thread: The Online Safety Act is far from perfect but much of the current debate is clearly driven by people who either haven't read it or don't understand it. The Act DOES NOT include a general duty for platforms to remove or mitigate LEGAL content for adults. (1)
