Rewarding UK Censorship Demands

Image of the Daily Mail from Twitter:

No link to the online version. It’s easy enough to find on your own. Besides, regular reading of the Daily Mail increases your risk of rumored appointment by the accidental president of the United States. As your mother often said, “you are what you read.”

The story claims:


Theresa May will order internet giants to clamp down on extremism following yesterday’s Tube terror attack.

Where “extremism” doesn’t include the daily bombing runs and other atrocities committed by the West.

I don’t expect better from the Daily Mail but the government’s hysteria over online content is clearly misplaced.

The inability of a group to make a successful “fairy light” bomb, speaks volumes about the threat posted by online bomb making plans.

Bomb making plans are great wannabe reading, tough guy talk for cell meetings, evidence for the police when discovered in your possession, but in and of themselves, are hardly worthy of notice. The same can be said for “radical” literature of all stripes.

Still, it seems a shame for the UK’s paranoid delusions to go unrewarded, especially in light of the harm it intends to free speech for all Internet users.

Suggestions?
