The UK government’s war on internet freedom

“Unfortunately, Cameron’s declaration that the ‘free flow of information’ can sometimes be a problem, then an aberration, seems to have turned into a pillar of the UK government’s 2012 agenda. Despite declaring early on in his term that internet freedom should be respected ‘in Tahrir Square as much as Trafalgar Square’, his government is now considering a series of laws that would dramatically restrict online privacy and freedom of speech.” The United Kingdom’s crippling nanny state culture reaches the web. A country in deep financial problems, facing pervasise social unrest, censors the web to prevent riots. Sure Cameron, make it so.
