The Government want to be able to censor content that creates “harm”, and can lead to imprisonment of senior officials in social media companies that refuse to comply.
Well well… murdoch will be safe from a another shameful corrupted mess of his title News of the world. Lol!
Between this and the limits they’ve put on what teachers can teach about the government and anti-capitalist ideology it’s clear the tories have an agenda to suppress critical thinking and contrarian views.
Now _this_ is orwellian.
As designed. Vast majority of MSM are ruling class propaganda mills, any actual dissent comes from the independents.
Two Nation Tories are criminalising all dissent, all protest.
Sign of times to come.
Thing is look at the last age verification law was delayed over and over again until it was scraped because they just could not find a way to get it up and running, This is very likely to end up a huge mess that may never come into force.
It is going to be interesting to see what gets classed as harmful. You know it will lean heavily towards anything that might criticise the government and its philosophies, yet the government is hardly going to come out and admit it.
Large media outlets, who are overwhelmingly owned and/or controlled by Conservative supporters…
This is how freedom of the press is strangled.
I now await Conservatives claiming that this is a gross over-reaction.
This is why Nick Clegg works at facebook earning millions a year.
