Theresa May to create new internet that would be controlled and regulated by government
"Some people say that it is not for government to regulate when it comes to technology and the internet," it states. "We disagree."
Senior Tories confirmed to BuzzFeed News that the phrasing indicates that 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.lolThe manifesto makes reference to those increased powers, saying that the government will work even harder to ensure there is no "safe space for terrorists to be able to communicate online".

The government will be able to place restrictions on seeing adult content and any exceptions would have to be justified to ministers, the manifesto suggests.
Can't wait to have to report in on my daily activity to chairman Mao.
Also wtf at Buzzfeed
An arguable positive to this though is:
The laws would also force technology companies to delete anything that a person posted when they were under 18.
