For years, the UK government has been cooking up legislation to more tightly regulate online spaces. Provisions in the Online Safety Bill include mandatory age-checks on porn sites and jail time for tech execs who withhold data from investigators. Now, these ambitious and controversial plans have been delayed, as the Conservative government faces a leadership election after the resignation of Boris Johnson as party leader.<\/p>\n

The Online Safety Bill was due to be voted on by the House of Commons next week, but this vote has now been delayed until after parliament\u2019s summer recess, according to reports from BBC News<\/em> and other outlets<\/a>. The delay is \u2014 in theory \u2014 temporary, but could prove fatal for the bill if the next UK prime minister doesn\u2019t consider it a priority, or if the next culture minister (in charge of spearheading the legislation) disagrees with its scope. <\/p>\n
