Free Speech Union offers legal help to businesses contacted by Ofcom
The Free Speech Union is asking businesses that have been contacted by Ofcom regarding Online Safety Act (OSA) compliance to reach out to them. They are offering legal assistance to those impacted by Ofcom's inquiries into the new regulations.
Key Takeaways
- The Free Speech Union is targeting businesses that have been approached by Ofcom about Online Safety Act compliance.
- The group is offering legal assistance through legal@freespeechunion.org.
