The UK Government wish to implement a legislation called the Online Safety Bill. A bill that could breach our digital human right to privacy. If it comes into affect, OFCOM will be able to screen our private messages in order to detect harmful content. Encryption on communication platforms will be lost. This is an invisible threat.
The campaign uses a specific typographic treatment of hiding messages in plain sight to raise awareness of the hidden nature of this bill. If put in place, people will never know that their data is being screened.
