WHY should the internet be regulated? Regulation as needed can well be carried out under (uk) existing legislation concerning pornography, racial incitement, etc. although some parts may need boosting up.
The question of regulation of the internet is not just a matter of should it be regulated, it is a question of WHO should be empowered to regulate it, it is a question of WHAT content they should be able to regulate, it is a question of WHO decides WHAT the regulators regulate.
And even more important is who REGULATES the REGULATORS to avoid any form of political, religious or commercial censorship.
It would need to be completely free of political control or influence and be staffed by no one who has ever held an elected public office or appointments in such bodies as the UN or EU.
The internet is too big
