First step to a Chinese style of democracy....

'Internet censorship in China is extreme due to a wide variety of laws and administrative regulations. More than sixty Internet regulations have been created by the government of China, which have been implemented by provincial branches of state-owned ISPs, companies, and organizations.[1][2] The apparatus of China's Internet control is considered more extensive and more advanced than in any other country in the world.[3] The governmental authorities not only block website content but also monitor the Internet access of individuals;[4] such measures have attracted the derisive nickname "The Great Firewall of China.'

This is totally anti freedom.
It mentions news websites.That is a slippery slope.They may start by saying they're trying to get rid of "fake news" but then abuse those powers to take down anything that goes against their agenda.Unbiased information will be even more of a rarity.
I'm all for forcing internet companies being pushed to tackle extremism and other such nastiness but this appears to go waaay further than that.
The Tories know they can push this through along with the fox hunting because they're so confident of a huge majority so they're getting as much crap as possible through.
No way i'd vote for this.
