Palestine Action Ruling: Human Rights Organisations Call for Ofcom to Issue Guidance on Content Takedowns

Open Rights Group’s open letter asks Ofcom to clarify removal duties, restoration processes, and compliance with upcoming 2026 safety obligations. The lack of clear regulator direction risks over‑censorship of legitimate political speech.
