Unbelievable. May is going to create a new type of internet that would be "controlled and regulated by government". Is it just me, or is this woman edging to some sort of dictatorship? China springs to mind with their "regulation" of the internet. Likewise Turkey under fellow dictator Erdogan.
"Theresa May intends to allow government to decide what is and isn't published, the manifesto suggests." Government corruption, fracking, whistleblowers and anything else will be deemed false news or hate speech. The only thing that you will see is what the government want you to see. Its easy enough to circumvent it with Tails or a decent VPN. At the moment. But the vast majority of the population wouldn't do that. Jesus. It's like some Orwellian nightmare.
