UK’s “Online Safety Act” Officially Grants MSM Premission To Publish Lies<\/h2>\n

February 4, 2024<\/p>\n

Welcome to the UK where it\u2019s now\u00a0official government policy<\/a>\u00a0that\u00a0you\u00a0CAN\u2019T publish \u201cmisinformation\u201d, but The Guardian, the BBC, Disney and Netflix\u00a0CAN…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, it\u2019s true \u2013 the recently signed \u201cOnline Safety Act\u201d brands the publication of \u201cfalse information\u201d a criminal offense punishable by up to a year in prison\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026unless you\u2019re an MSM outlet, when it\u2019s\u00a0totally fine<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Think even the corrupt & bloated criminal class that rules over us would never dare be that blatant?<\/p>\n

Take a look at section 179 making it\u00a0illegal to publish false information with intent to cause harm<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2026and then look at section 180,\u00a0which exempts all MSM outlets from this new law\u00a0<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2026and that\u2019s without even getting into OfCom\u2019s \u201cselect committee\u201d, or how they choose to define \u201cmisinformation\u201d (s. 152<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Welcome to the modern definition of \u201cfreedom of speech\u201d, where the MSM are directly and explicitly permitted to\u00a0\u201cknowingly publish false information with intent to cause non-trivial harm\u201d<\/em>, and you can be sent to jail for a year for calling out their lies. …
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the EU\u2019s own Digital Services Act coming into force later this month, and all the focus on \u201cmisinformation and disinformation\u201d at Davos two weeks ago, we can see the real crackdown on internet free speech is about to kick into gear.<\/strong> https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/uks-online-safety-act-officially-grants-msm-premission-publish-lies<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We continue to see more and more steps toward totalitarianism. So-called “safeguards” to limit this to \u201cknowingly publish false information with intent to cause non-trivial harm\u201d<\/em><\/strong> are a joke because the censors tend to think that if they do not agree with something, it must harm someone, somehow.<\/p>\n

Yes, this is leading to ‘666’ type controls (cf. Revelation 13:15-18)<\/p>\n

Here is something that Wikipedia posted about this improperly titled Online Safety Act<\/em>:<\/p>\n

The international human rights organization Article 19<\/a> stated that they saw the Online Safety Act 2023 as a potential threat to human rights, describing it as an “extremely complex and incoherent piece of legislation”.[29]<\/a><\/sup> The Open Rights Group<\/a> described the OSB as a “censor’s charter”.[30]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

During an interview for the BBC<\/a><\/i>, Rebecca MacKinnon<\/a>, the vice president for global advocacy at the Wikimedia Foundation<\/a>, criticised the OSB, saying the threat of “harsh” new criminal penalties for tech bosses would affect “not only big corporations, but also public interest websites, such as Wikipedia<\/a>“.[31]<\/a><\/sup> In the same instance, MacKinnon argued the Act should have been based on the European Union<\/a>‘s Digital Services Act<\/a>, which reportedly included differences between centralised content moderation and community-based moderation.[31]<\/a><\/sup> In April 2023, both MacKinnon and the chief executive of Wikimedia UK<\/a>, Lucy Crompton-Reid, announced that the WMF did not intend to apply the age-check requirements of the Act to Wikipedia users, stating that it would violate their commitment to collect minimal data about readers and contributors.[32]<\/a><\/sup>[33]<\/a><\/sup> On 29 June of the same year, WMUK and the WMF officially published an open letter, asking the government and Parliament to exempt “public interest projects”, including Wikipedia itself, from the OSB before it entered its report stage<\/a>, starting on 6 July.[34]<\/a><\/sup>[35]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Apple Inc.<\/a> criticised legal powers in the OSB which threatened end-to-end encryption on messaging platforms in an official statement, describing the act as “a serious threat” to end-to-end encryption, and urging the UK government to “amend the Bill to protect strong end-to-end encryption”.[36]<\/a><\/sup>[37]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Meta Platforms<\/a> has criticised the plan, saying, “We don’t think people want us reading their private messages … The overwhelming majority of Brits already rely on apps that use encryption to keep them safe from hackers, fraudsters and criminals”.[25]<\/a><\/sup> Head of WhatsApp<\/a> Will Cathcart voiced his opposition to the OSB, stating that the service would not compromise its encryption for the proposed law and saying “The reality is, our users all around the world want security \u2013 ninety-eight percent of our users are outside the UK, they do not want us to lower the security of the product and just as a straightforward matter, it would be an odd choice for us to choose to lower the security of the product in a way that would affect those ninety-eight percent of users.”[38]<\/a><\/sup>[39]<\/a><\/sup> He also stated in a tweet that scanning everyone’s messages would destroy privacy.[40]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Ciaran Martin, a former head of the UK National Cyber Security Centre<\/a>, accused the government of “magical thinking<\/a>” and said that scanning for child abuse content would necessarily require weakening the privacy of encrypted messages.[25]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The UN\u2019s New Fact-Checking System Called \u201ciVerify\u201d Will Be Used To Crack Down On \u201cMisinformation\u201d All Over The World<\/h2>\n
Our world is becoming a creepier place with each passing day.\u00a0 …\u00a0 And a new tool that was just introduced by the UN will make it much easier for them to control what we write on the Internet\u2026<\/div>\n
\n

The iVerify System Is Here<\/strong><\/p>\n

The UN\u2019s new fact-checking system is going to be a game changer, but so far the mainstream media is being really quiet about it.<\/p>\n

Perhaps that is because they don\u2019t want millions of us to object to this sort of tyranny.<\/p>\n

The UN developed iVerify in conjunction with big tech companies and Soros-funded organizations, and it will be used to crack down on \u201cdisinformation\u201d and \u201chate speech\u201d\u00a0all over the globe<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

The United Nations has unveiled an \u201cautomated\u201d fact-checking service to counter so-called disinformation and hate speech on the internet in a project partnered with Big-Tech and Soros-funded organisations.<\/em><\/p>\n

In response to what they brand as \u201conline information pollution\u201d, which they claim is a \u201cglobal challenge\u201d, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has launched its iVerify platform to counter alleged disinformation and hate speech online.<\/em><\/p>\n

The global body\u2019s \u201cautomated fact-checking tool\u201d, was developed in partnership with the United Nations International Computing Centre (UNICC), Facebook and Google-funded fact checker Meedan, the Meta-owned CrowdTangle, and the Soros-funded International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN).<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Needless to say, this tool will not be used to crack down on points of view that Big Tech and George Soros agree with. 06\/19\/23 https:\/\/endoftheamericandream.com\/the-uns-new-fact-checking-system-called-iverify-will-be-used-to-crack-down-on-misinformation-all-over-the-world<\/a>\/<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Increased censorship endorsed by the UN is not a surprise.<\/p>\n

As I posted back in 2021:<\/p>\n

More internet censorship is expected. (Thiel B. United Nations removing web registrars<\/a>. COGwriter , December 2021)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Notice also the following:<\/p>\n

\n

Isaiah: Lack of Truth in End-of-Days<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Talmud (97a) goes into great detail describing the conditions in the days preceding the final redemption. One condition is based on a prophecy written in the Book of Isaiah.<\/p>\n

And so redress is turned back And vindication stays afar, Because honesty stumbles in the public square And uprightness cannot enter. Honesty has been lacking, He who turns away from evil is despoiled.\u201d Hashem<\/i> saw and was displeased That there was no redress. Isaiah 59:14-15<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Talmud explains the verse:<\/p>\n

What is the meaning of the phrase: And the truth is lacking [ne\u2019ederet<\/i>]? The Sages of the study hall of Rav said: This teaches that truth will become like so many flocks [adarim<\/i>] and walk away. What is the meaning of the phrase: \u201cAnd he that departs from evil is negated\u201d? The Sages of the study hall of Rabbi Sheila said: Anyone who deviates from evil is deemed insane by the people.<\/p>\n

Rabbi Yosef Berger, the rabbi of King David\u2019s Tomb on Mount Zion, explained that the information revolution initiated by advances in technology made the dissemination of information far easier and widespread but at the same time, made truth entirely subjective.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Judaism, a Torah scroll is handwritten, copied letter by letter from an existing Torah scroll,\u201d Rabbi Berger said. \u201cInspection of Torah scrolls from thousands of years ago prove that this method of transmission is very accurate and results in faithful copies. Even after thousands of years and Jews being exiled to every nation, the Torah of the Jews remains a universal truth that does not change.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor thousands of years, no one denied the Torah was truth and no one could deny a truth that was seen by all. Now, something could be on the internet today and tomorrow it will be forgotten and a new truth will take its place. Part of the liberal methodology is to rewrite history, even what was universally agreed to be the truth.\u201d October 19, 2020 https:\/\/www.israel365news.com\/159725\/internet-censorship-pre-messiah-evil-described-by-isaiah\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It is not just the Hebrew scriptures or the Jewish Talmud that warns people will not hear the truth. Notice the following from the New Testament about what will happen prior to the Messiah’s return:<\/p>\n

13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13, KJV)<\/p>\n

12 … they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2 Thessalonians 2:12, NKJV throughout unless otherwise specified)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not only is there prophesied an increase in deceit, the Bible prophecies totalitarian controls (cf. Revelation 13). Artificial intelligence will be used.<\/p>\n

As Artificial Intelligence and totalitarian controls go, the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> (CCOG) put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy<\/a> YouTube channel back in 2018:<\/p>\n

Artificial Intelligence and Prophecy<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Billionaire Elon Musk declared he was worried that artificial intelligence (AI) may lead to the rise of an \u201cimmortal dictator,\u201d a \u201cgodlike\u201d entity that could take over the world. Is this accurate, or at least, close in some ways? Does Bible prophecy foretell of the rise of an immoral leader who considers himself above all gods? Will this result in great destruction? What is AI? How might it fit in with various prophecies? Was the increase in technological knowledge we now have prophesied over 2000 years ago? Will 666 control over buying and selling involve any form of AI? Dr. Thiel goes over many scriptures, including prophetic ones, that involve human knowledge\u2013which is the basis of AI. He also points out that when various prophesies were made, there was no technology capable of fulfilling them, but that because of computers, such ability exists now. Dr. Thiel also points out what Jesus will do about it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is a link: Artificial Intelligence and Prophecy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The above was made PRIOR to COVID-19.<\/p>\n

In 2023, we did numerous videos about the rise and use of AI:<\/p>\n

\n

ChatGPT and 666<\/a><\/p>\n

Is AI in the Bible?<\/a><\/p>\n

AI Jesus? Artificial Intelligence God?<\/a><\/p>\n

666, the Censorship Industrial Complex, and AI<\/a><\/p>\n

Artificial Intelligence Superhuman Persuasion?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The UN, Big Tech, various governments, and others are using algorithms and AI to censor and block information.<\/p>\n

Biblically, we know that more censorship is prophesied as the prophet Amos warned:<\/p>\n

11 \u201cBehold, the days are coming,\u201d says the Lord God,
\n\u201cThat I will send a famine on the land,
\nNot a famine of bread,
\nNor a thirst for water,
\nBut of hearing the words of the Lord.
\n12 They shall wander from sea to sea,
\nAnd from north to east;
\nThey shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord,
\nBut shall not find it. (Amos 8:11-12)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Notice that the Bible tells of a time that will come when the word of God will not be found. I do not believe that this means that there will be no more Bibles\u2013but preaching aspects of it will be made illegal and that those wanting to better understand it will have trouble finding explanations.<\/p>\n

Satan’s plan is to try to stop preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God–while it will happen anyway (cf. Matthew 24:14)–there will be more restrictions, as well as a coming persecution.<\/p>\n

We continue to see steps taken to give governments more and more power to suppress the truth.<\/p>\n

Do you see what is happening and how that ties into properly understood biblical prophecies?<\/p>\n

Some items of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n

Should the Church Still Try to Place its Top Priority on Proclaiming the Gospel or Did Herbert W. Armstrong Change that Priority for the Work?<\/a> Some say the Church should mainly feed the flock now as that is what Herbert W. Armstrong reportedly said. Is that what he said? Is that what the Bible says? What did Paul<\/a> and Herbert W. Armstrong<\/a> expect from lower level leaders? Two related sermons are available The Work per HWA and the Bible<\/a> and Priority of the Philadelphia Work<\/a>.
\nPreparing for the ‘Short Work’ and The Famine of the Word<\/a> What is the ‘short work’ of Romans 9:28? Who is preparing for it? Will Philadelphian Christians instruct many in the end times?

\n<\/b>The Gospel of the Kingdom of God<\/a> This free online pdf booklet has answers many questions people have about the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and explains why it is the solution to the issues the world is facing. It is available inover 1,000 languages at ccog.org<\/a>. Here are links to four kingdom-related sermons: \u00a0The Fantastic Gospel of the Kingdom of God!<\/a>, The World\u2019s False Gospel<\/a>, The Gospel of the Kingdom: From the New and Old Testaments<\/a>, and The Kingdom of God is the Solution<\/a>.
\nInternet Censorship and Prophecy <\/a> Are concerns about internet censorship limited to nations such as Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. But what about the USA, Canada, and Germany? What about the European Union? What about internet media companies such as Facebook, Google, YouTube, or email services like MailChimp? Has the attempt to control information been made by various ones over the centuries? Was the New Testament affected by it? What about the church throughout the centuries? Has the Bible already been partially censored? Which Bible prophecies point to coming Internet censorship? What about the Book of Amos? What about the coming 666 Beast and final Antichrist? Is there anything that can be done about this? Should Philadelphian Christians be working on anything now? Will preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God vs. a highly media-supported alternative lead to a \u2018famine of the word\u2019? More internet censorship is coming as various statements in the Bible support.

Here is information in the Spanish language: Persecuciones de la Iglesia y el Estado<\/a>.
\nOrwell\u2019s 1984 by 2024?<\/a> In 1949, the late George Orwell wrote a disturbing book about a totalitarian government called \u201cnineteen-eighty four.\u201d Despite laws that are supposed to protect freedom of speech and religion, we are seeing governments taking steps consistent with those that George Orwell warned against. We are also seeing this in the media, academia, and in private companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter. With the advent of technology, totalitarianism beyond what Orwell wrote is possible. Does the Bible teach the coming a totalitarian state similar to George Orwell\u2019s? What about the Antichrist and 666? Will things get worse? What is the solution? Dr. Thiel answers these questions and more in this video.
\nCanadian censoring of the Bible<\/a> In 2017, Lauri Skori of the Battle River School board told a religious school in Alberta, Canada that it could not teach\/read certain portions of the Bible. In 2002, a court in Canada ruled against one who referred to certain scriptures that some homosexuals objected to. In 2017, there was \u201cAn Act to Amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and Criminal Code\u201d related to those who wish to be considered transgendered. Government officials in Canada and elsewhere have been ruling against the Bible. Is any of this prophesied? Will this get worse? What was the prophet Amos inspired to write? This is a video.
