Chinese Style Internet Censorship… in Britain?
June 10th, 2017
Via: Independent:
Theresa May has refused to rule out censoring the internet like China.
The prime minister has looked to introduce sweeping and deep changes to the way the internet works, in what she claims is a necessary move to prevent terror. Those have included restricting the kinds of things people can post online and forcing internet companies to weaken security so that intelligence agencies can read their messages.
Many of those plans have been criticised by internet companies, who argue that such undertakings would require them to put their customers safety in danger and undermine their businesses. It might not even be possible to comply with such rules, they have argued, since laws in other countries explicitly prohibit such measures.
Now Ms May says that she won’t rule out simply “taking down” the “rogue internet companies” like China has.
