Here we fucking go: Theresa May will be launching wide-ranging internet regulation and will be allowing internet companies to let spies read everyone’s private communications

Conservative party leader Theresa May is planning to add internet regulation to help combat terrorist.

Just when you thought she couldn’t be any worse.

How does this stop terrorist attacks?

It doesn’t. Theresa is just saying this situation to push her establishment agenda of watching over people.

Here’s what The Independent reported:

In the speech in which she committed to keep governing despite calls to stand down, the prime minister made reference to extending powers for the security services. Those powers — which include regulation of the internet and forcing internet companies to let spies read everyone’s private communications — were a key part of the Conservative campaign, which failed to score a majority in the House of Commons.

In the speech, given in Downing Street after losing her majority but still looking to form a government, she laid out a series of plans that she hopes to carry out at what she called a “critical time for our country”.

One of those will be “cracking down on the ideology of Islamist extremism and all those who support it,” she said in the short speech. And she will also “give the police and the authorities the powers they need to keep our country safe”.

That statement — one of few policy proposals in the speech — seems to be a reference to new powers to regulate what is said and read on the internet, as set out in the Conservative manifesto.

It really seems that Theresa is trying really hard to make 1984 a real thing. I personally recommend purchasing Private Internet Access to prevent companies from spying on your internet activity.
