The UK plans to ban "harmful" material on the internet, including disinformation.

UK sites would be forced to delete the material; other sites would be blocked by the Great Firewall of Britain if they did not.

It isn't surprising to see Singapore set up a "ministry of truth" for the internet. Singapore is repressive in many ways. But it may shock people to see the UK proposing something similar.

When the UK censors, it goes to extremes.
