This article is pretty click-baity. It claims to be about reading banned literature in the title, then when you navigate to the site it immediately says the announcement/law is actually about watching videos promoting terrorism.<p>The main body of the article is pretty incoherent and rambling; it never really clearly states what the law is actually about.<p>If you actually go read the linked BBC article[0], you'll find that what's happening is somewhat less alarming than the article would lead you to believe. From what I gather, a politician is attempting to increase the maximum sentence of an existing law from 10 to 15 years, and to apply it to streaming content rather than just downloaded content.<p>There are definitely free speech implications and concerns here, but it's not nearly as dire as the article would imply.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/uk-41479620" rel="nofollow">https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/uk-41479620</a><p>*Also, the subtext of the BBC article
> People who repeatedly view terrorist content online will face up to 15 years in prison, the home secretary has told the Conservative Party conference.
