Y'all it is not a coincidence that these authoritarian tactics are applied after years of successful resistance against genocide in Palestine. The U.K. is one of the only countries in the world where a Zionist arms supplier, Elbit, was forced to close a facility due to repeated direct action interference in operations. They are terrified that the internet is more resilient to conventional means of propaganda than what other forms of media are; which liberals have already spent a century trying to get under control. Combined with a perceived increased threat to "democracy" by Russian social media disinformation campaigns -- which are somehow undesirable yet consistent with capitalistic imperatives -- liberals are terrified of the internet's ability to challenge their rule.
