The government intends to introduce huge restrictions on what people can post, share and publish online. The plans will allow Britain to become ‘the global leader in the regulation of the use of personal data and the internet’, the manifesto claims. It comes just soon after the Investigatory Powers Act came into law. That legislation allowed the government to force internet companies to keep records on their customers’ browsing histories, as well as giving ministers the power to break apps like WhatsApp so that messages can be read.”
