Free Speech Union Reaffirms Opposition To Harmful Digital Communications ActThe Free Speech Union has seen a Stuff report suggesting we are indifferent to the risks the Harmful Digital Communications Act poses to free speech. “Stuff reports that Mr Bradbury now appears to share our concerns,” said Stephen Franks, Chair of the Free Speech Union. Given his long hostility to the Free Speech Union that might be difficult for him, but we regularly defend people many of us disagree with. The Free Speech Union has fought to reform it for years, and is not stopping. The Harmful Digital Communications Act is bad law.
