       | 
       | UK Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS) Secretary of State
       | Nadine Dorries, said her aim with the bill was to "make the
       | internet, in the UK, the safest place in the world for children
       | and vulnerable young people to go online."
       | 
       | People don't realise, but the UK govt think pretty much only
       | about the children and vulnerable young. Legislation begins and
       | end with this question: "how can they make sure everyone is nice
       | and safe?"
       | 
       | Its not that they are using this group as a pretext to shove
       | draconian legislations down our throats, no. /s
