“Could there be an internet where Tesco, Amazon, Netflix, BBC, airlines, banking etc work well but there are major changes elsewhere?” | child-safety activists ask for a read-only internet

In a sense this is one of the scariest things I’ve read, because it demands removing interactivity and freedom of the user’s voice from the internet; we would be permitted retail and other “consumer” services, and denied anything which might enable user-to-user communications on the grounds that it might harm children, or footballers, or similar.
It’s doubly ironic because the author — child-safety activist John Carr — is running and writing on an independent blog, and one can only wonder who he asked permission to do so?
