Vicki and Geraldine talk to Ellen Judson of Demos and Kyle Taylor of Fair Vote, who say they can no longer support the Online Safety Bill. Both have been keen supporters of regulation. They talk us through what they see as various wrong turns for the Bill.

Talking points:

• Why a separate internet for children could be a disaster.
• Why the Online Safety Bill could turn the UK into a haven for disinformation.
• Why banning content that’s illegal, rather than regulating for activity that’s legal but harmful, may look simpler, but actually makes the Bill much less likely to succeed.
