In the UK
Discuss?
It's apparently going to be exactly like the kind of internet they have in a lot of middle eastern countries, where certain types of content, your rights to speech & expression, etc. can all be surpressed
Personally sounds really dangerous to me, a definite overreach
In countries that have regulated internet too often people are arrested for their opinions or social media is cut off during crisis periods (like for example, during the "coup" against Erdogan)
All in the name of... Safety. Do you think liberty is a fair price to pay for a government to keep you under their definition of safe? Decide what you can and can't access? Decide what you can say and think, and what you can't?

she wants to rout all internet traffic through the government so they can see everything you do before you do and determine what you can and cannot see
this isnt safety this is modern conservatism and authoritarianism which i mean is redundant |

"UK keeps trying to be like the US every day now."
We don't have this in our country and I doubt we will any time soon, and if we ever do it's not being implemented without a fight
Some people you might consider "radicals" though want to start censoring our press because they're upset about the election
Which ironically enough would hurt them too |

"isn't the internet already regulated"
To this extent? I doubt it
Atleast where I live generally the only things they monitor are people selling illegal things like certain pictures, things of that nature, and maliciously hacking people ofc
That's about it though
What May wants to do is even force companies like Google to totally censor out whatever the government wants and have direct, complete control
Not sure if the UK specifically has been doing this but a lot of european countries have been slowly moving in this direction with new online "hate speech" laws |

Idk how it is for you guys, but here in America big companies and the government stalks and sell everyone's info to the highest bidder. Even if it's something small like your favorite color.

Well, this is about taking away our freedom and privacy right? They sell all that info to companies that will manipulate people to get more cash. You already can't say that much on the internet because someone will somehow get offended and they'll attempt to ruin your life.

| no the government literally wants to ban certain websites because they think it'll prevent the spread of certain information, or they think the site is subjectively immoral to them |
