UK won’t agree to change online safety law as part of US trade negotiations

Britain won’t agree to make any changes to its Online Safety Act as part of trade negotiations with the US, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said on Wednesday.

“We’ve been really clear that we have to regulate the online space to make sure that it is a safe space, just as we would do in the real world,” she told Times Radio, when asked if she would consider changing the law.

“That is not on the table as part of a trade negotiation.”
