UK Conservatives Pledge To Create Government-Controlled Internet (independent.co.uk)
Martin S. writes: Theresa May, the leader of the UK Conservative Party has pledged to create new internet that would be controlled and regulated by government on re-election. An early lead in the polls appears to be slipping but not slowly enough to change the result. Social Media has rapidly become an intense political battlefield. Known as #Mayhem in some circles, but seemingly able to command significant support from new and old media. Also, applying new social media analytics. According to the manifesto, the plans will allow Britain to become "the global leader in the regulation of the use of personal data and the internet." It states, "Some people say that it is not for government to regulate when it comes to technology and the internet... We disagree."
This shit reminds me of V for Vendetta
When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself Anti-Fascism, and tell you to give up your guns.
Except that time and time again, the right side of politics show that they don't give a shit about people and only care about business.
So maybe your side should try and do something about that, or we will keep labelling you as arseholes.
