UK Government Moves Aggressively To Censor & Control The Internet

[LAC]

MB, yes many of us watched your election unfold, fake news accusations flying from both sides. Another difference though I may point out is that the US unlike the UK still has free speech as it is enshrined in your constitution, and quite rightly so. The UK no longer has this and it is becoming more oppressive by the day. Our lovely London mayor recently pledged millions to tackle so called online hate speech, and this at a time when knife crime in London has rocketed to levels never seen before and police numbers on the street are being cut.
The worrying thing is that all a government with these type of powers need do to suppress any percieved political dissent is to broaden the definition of what they consider to be hate speech - no change to the law needed once it is in place, just add a few more words to the banned list and we are in pure NewsSpeak 1984 land - limit words you limit thought, and thought is the enemy of totalitarianism.

God help us all !

I received this email from a friend in UK which I find alarming:

"I write you this message while I am still legally allowed and free to do it:-

We are heading for a very dark place in the near future. This is part of a big long term plan and to compliment it, Teresa May recently announced that we would not be pulling out of the EU convention on Human Rights even after a Brexit.

Where this is leading is very very bad. We might as well all be lobotomised and have micro chips inserted in our skulls...

A one way trip to the gulag for you and all your family! The alternative EU outcome from this document becoming reality would steadily devolve into a medieval horror re-run!
