Brytyjscy konserwatyści chcą jeszcze bardziej kontrolować internet. Premier May zapowiedziała dzisiaj wprowadzenie nowych regulacji jeśli wygrają najbliższe wybory (8 czerwca).

Według aktualnych sondaży konserwatyści mają 45% poparcia, co w przypadku wygranej gwarantuje im samodzielne rządy.

The new rules would include laws that make it harder than ever to access pornographic and other websites. The government will be able to place restrictions on seeing adult content and any exceptions would have to be justified to ministers, the manifesto suggests.

The manifesto even suggests that the government might stop search engines like Google from directing people to pornographic websites. "We will put a responsibility on industry not to direct users – even unintentionally – to hate speech, pornography, or other sources of harm," the Conservatives write.

The laws would also force technology companies to delete anything that a person posted when they were under 18.

The manifesto also proposes that internet companies will have to pay a levy, like the one currently paid by gambling firms. Just like with gambling, that money will be used to pay for advertising schemes to tell people about the dangers of the internet, in particular being used to "support awareness and preventative activity to counter internet harms", according to the manifesto.

The Conservatives will also seek to regulate the kind of news that is posted online and how companies are paid for it. If elected, Theresa May will "take steps to protect the reliability and objectivity of information that is essential to our democracy" – and crack down on Facebook and Google to ensure that news companies get enough advertising money.

If internet companies refuse to comply with the rulings – a suggestion that some have already made about the powers in the Investigatory Powers Act – then there will be a strict and strong set of ways to punish them.

"We will introduce a sanctions regime to ensure compliance, giving regulators the ability to fine or prosecute those companies that fail in their legal duties, and to order the removal of content where it clearly breaches UK law," the manifesto reads.

"While we cannot create this framework alone,it is for government, not private companies, to protect the security of people and ensure the fairness of the rules by which people and businesses abide," the document reads. "Nor do we agree that the risks of such an approach outweigh the potential benefits."

@Vickers213 Przejdzie, próbowałem rozmawiać na ten temat z przeciętnymi ludźmi przy okazji pierwszej ustawy, połowa nie ogarnia o co kaman a Ci co ogarniają stoją murem za rządem bo brexit.

@Vickers213: Czemu miałoby nie przejść? Nie ma kto tego zawetować skoro konserwatyści właściwie nie będą mieli żadnej opozycji.
