Comment on ‘It went nuts’: Thousands join UK parents calling for smartphone-free childhood
tenebrisnox@feddit.uk 8 months agoYou could be right. I listened to a Tory minister on the radio today talking about ending anonymity on the internet and - more interestingly - about silo-ing parts of the internet so that certain groups, such as children, could only access certain “versions” of the internet. I wonder whether that’s the longer-term agenda.

Things the Tories love doing:
You could see walling off parts of the Internet and cracking down on end-to-end encryption as being pieces in the same jigsaw. Once they have all the technology in place it would just need a concocted threat (Just Stop Oil organising their “terrorist outrages” online) for them to push it a bit further. Until, by increments, our Internet looks awfully like Chinas.
