The head of the right reform, the United Kingdom, Nigel Farage, demanded apologies on Tuesday after the head of the technological branch of the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer accused the conservative member of the Parliament (MP) of “seat” with sexual predators in the midst of clashes on a new law on online security.

In the remarks of Reform UK’s headquarters, Farage said that the accusations were taken to him earlier during the day by the Secretary of Peter Kyle technology “disgusting” and “under the belt”, and he called the secretary of work to remove his comments.

Farage requests occurred after Kyle said that the insistence of the right to repeal the law if they gain a majority and sweep n ° 10 during the next general elections, are similar to “putting the clock at the time when strange adults … (could) get in touch via email applications with children”.

“We have people there who are extreme pornographers, peddling hatred, colpoant violence. Nigel Farage is on their side,” Kyle said in an interview with Sky News earlier on Tuesday.

“Make no mistake, if people like Jimmy Savile were alive today, he will perpetuate his online crimes,” added Kyle, in reference to a personality from the British media who turned out to have prey of “hundreds” Victims and children sexually abused.

“And Nigel Farage says he’s on their side.”

Farage has questioned “how can the Labor government decrease” in the middle of its number of surveys.

Kyle went to social networks to refuse to support his statements and said: “If you want to cancel the online security act, you are on the side of predators. It’s as simple as that.”

The confrontation on the laws based on the Internet, which Farage has described as “limited dystopian”, is only the last spit which takes place in the United Kingdom on the concerns of freedom of expression – a fight which has continued for decades after a law of 2003 has made it illegal to “intentionally provoking the embarrassment, the inconvenience or the unnecessary anxiety to another” with the online stations, Intentually, what is in inconvenience, improper or useless to another “with another” with online positions, intentionally reported, intentionally, unnecessary drawbacks or anxiety to another “with online posts, intentionally reported, intentionally, improper or useless to another” with online posts, intentionally reported, incidentally to another “with online positions, intentionally reported” Time.

The report revealed that nearly 3,400 people had been arrested for breaking the law in 2016, and the criminalization of online publications remains a point of concern for many in the United Kingdom

Such an example is the case with Lee Joseph DunnWho published three images and comments on his Facebook page in July 2024 which were deemed “very offensive” and which “risked aggravating community tensions”.

The images would have been represented Asian men with knives, and Dunn’s comments have apparently suggested that they could illegally immigrate to the United Kingdom and move into British communities.

Dunn, who withdrew the posts and apologized, was sentenced to eight weeks for the posts.

In response to sentence, the deputy chief prosecutor of the CPS North West Janet Potter said: “This condemnation should be a reminder of the so-called keyboard warriors: online actions have consequences.”

The concerns about restrictions on non-internet freedom of expression have also arisen in recent years, as in the 2022 case involving Adam Smith-Connor, who has been arrested for having quietly prayed for his aborted son in a buffer zone of a clinic of abortion and forced to pay around $ 12,000 in fines.

The divisions concerning the online security law have increased in recent months after the law, which was introduced for the first time in 2023, put legal on social media societies and online platforms to protect users, in particular children, against criminal and harmful documents thanks to policies based on algorithms and age restrictions in March.

However, some have argued that the law exceeds and now risks violating freedom of expression by forcing social media societies to “censor” anti-government content.

When President Donald Trump was interviewed on Monday when he was sitting next to Starmer if he was concerned about his own social media platform, Trum Social, Trump jokingly responded: “I only say good things about him and his country.”

Starmer answered the question and said, “We will not censor anyone.”

Failure to comply with the new legal rules could mean that any platform or social media company is affected with a fine of up to 10% of the global turnover of a company or nearly 24 million dollars, according to the largest.

The UK-based combat has been renewed this month after new restrictions under the law entered into force which require online platforms to take measures to prevent children from accessing the content linked to self-control, pranks or dangerous challenges, suicide, food disorders, pornography and violent or linked content.
