Predictably, Britain’s Online Safety Act has claimed another victim. This time, Conservative Party frontbencher Neil O’Brien’s pronatalist clip was prevented from appearing online.

The UK’s shadow minister for policy renewal and development put together a short video alongside Phoebe Arslanagić-Little. Her campaign, Boom, tries to encourage larger families in Britain. But since the video features—unsurprisingly—a baby, it ended up earmarked for censorship on automated ‘child safety’ grounds.

Conveniently, an opposition politician found his non-approved opinions blocked too. This latest example of government overreach is consistent with its accusing its opponents of siding with sexual predators, including deceased celebrity paedophile Sir Jimmy Savile.
