Why should we care? Well, if they do it, it will give regulators here the edge to start doing the same. That raises the question – should internet giants like Facebook, Twitter, and Google be regulated? Or is unlimited freedom of the internet the gold standard?


Legislation is being drafted by the Home Office and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), according to the site.

A new regulatory framework for online 'social harms', scheduled to be announced this winter, would be created.

This would also involve the creation of a new body, equivalent to Ofcom, for social media and other sites.

The details are reportedly being considered by home secretary Sajid Javid and culture secretary Jeremy Wright.

Ajit Pai killed unlimited freedom of the internet. What we get is entirely up to the big providers now.

I am puzzled as to why the net should remain outside the bounds of decent behaviour. It seems to me that only right wing race haters have a problem with this.
