I think the internet would be pretty hard to regulate successfully now. Back in the day when it new and shiny the way to go forward with it could have been controlled much in the same way that China do it. But not now. It's awfully hard to take a freedom away when people have experienced it. I'm not convinced they could have a lot of impact tbh.
Although maybe they could regulate Debates for us.

I've posted Sargon taking apart Labour, so it's only fair I post Sargons take on the Tory manifesto. And the dilemma he's in, which I share with him.

I don't know - but when you think about the kind of things that go on on the net, the grooming of children, child porn , how ISIS use it to promote fear etc would it be such a bad thing. There is no denying the internet is a dangerous place.

They most certainly do. This could be a deal breaker for lots of voters.

This was one of the most disturbing parts I came across when I looked through their manifesto. What's hysterical is that a lot of the same people who claim to be proponents of free speech and anti censorship, will lap this **** up. You couldn't write it.

Anybody that is willing to give up their rights and freedoms out of fear and for a false sense of security is pretty much taking a dump on the sacrifices that allowed us to enjoy the rights and freedoms that we have. A free internet also gives voices to people without one, it can reveal injustices and corruption that would otherwise remain unknown. It has the power to keep the people in power in check and that's why it must never be regulated by those people. |

What this will force people to do is use underground networks. That's assuming that any of this could be implemented. Anyone who provides any part of an internet service or consumes any part of it will be resistant to such changes.

There are pros and cons - it's about weighing them up I guess, but undoubtedly there is a very nasty side to the Webb that we could do without. |

Besides you support all the OTT PC gumph so therefore free speech isn't at the top of your agenda, unless it's the one-sided kind. |

Yeah common, North Korea have 30 propaganda websites and virtually no crime rate. If we want obedient people we have to take state control of the interweb.

Like with Freedom of Speech, you either accept all of it or you are against it, there are no grey areas. The internet has it's dark sides but those sides aren't beyond the law which makes the idea of handing over control to a government who will only use it to benefit themselves completely silly and needless. Brillo, people have died to ensure you get to enjoy the freedoms you experience on a daily basis. Do not piss all over their sacrifices for a sense of false security. |
