Carl Bildt mocks Theresa May's internet regulation plans
Original: I’m sure China, Russia, Iran and some others will applaud Theresa May’s intention to control and limit the internet. htt
Former Swedish prime minister Carl Bildt criticised Theresa May's proposal to regulate and limit the internet, introduced after the London Bridge terror attack. He sarcastically suggested that China, Russia and Iran would applaud the UK plan, implying it echoes the internet controls of authoritarian states. The remark fuels debate over whether stricter online regulation in the name of security undermines liberal democratic principles.
Why now: May's post-attack call for internet regulation sparked criticism that it mirrors authoritarian censorship.
