I would rather hope that the people responsible for the web have felt compelled to watch the interview with Susanna Reid and the parents of two of the little girls involved in the Southport tragedy and act on what can be done going forward. I have to admit I had to turn it off half way through it is so heart breaking.

What has this got to do with the WWW?

The incompetent people who missed multiple opportunities to stop the killer blame everyone and everything apart from themselves.

Same for the Nottingham killer.

Both killers were well known to the authorities but nothing was done.

Pointless restricting the lives of the law abiding majority to appear as if something is being done when the fundamental failures have not been addressed.

I am as what is known as a technophobe I think, the current thinking is that a lot of folks are being radicalized by the things they are accessing on the internet and I thought that was part of the WWW.

That may be true however restricting and censoring stuff to cover for glaring errors by those “professionals” who were supposed to be looking after the killers is a slippery slope that should not be gone down.

Same as forcing Amazon to have multiple age verification to buy a knife. Most households have multiple knives already in the kitchen so all this does is inconvenience people for no benefit.

Just on your last point. If you buy alcohol on amazon you have to go through age verification so by your point this should be scrped then.

I don't see it as to much of a problem to be age verified. I would guess glue is the same.

The whole point of the WWW is that no single entity is responsible for it. That comes with both upsides and downsides.

If certain words can be blocked on posts here the www can easily block terror orgs on the Internet. It won't cure but will make their radicalisation harder.

The thing is things are traceable on www therefore makes security orgs job easier.

Where as a kid meeting a terror rep in a coffee shop and getting radicalised is harder to control.

In the Southport case social services, parents of Axel, the Police, and the security forces all failed abysmally.

How often have we heard parents being interviewed with the words they want something done so others don't suffer too and it keeps happening.

Because the system is failing, the government is failing, and the law is failing these parents.

The penalties aren't a deterrent.

Dogma in the house of commons as we speak is a big factor too.

Encryption. And the burden of inspecting every piece of information flying across the internet, in real time.

You would need every individual website/service/app to do this, which is almost impossible. Even China can't manage it.

Winnie the Pooh. Tiananmen Square. Free Tibet. Hong Kong should remain self governing. Taiwan is not China.

Kilkenny, but Dublin is more fun

Say what you will, and it of course has it's advantages but I deeply suspect mankind wasn't ready at all for how much the internet would change society in such a short amount of time.

Think of how much the printing press revolutionised so much, but it rolled out gradually over time, while the internet going from small hobbyist thing in the background to an all encompassing thing that has become entrenched in so many parts of society in only a few short decades.

We as a species have never before been exposed to so much information, and with our vulnerability to confirmation bias and getting immersed in reaffirming echo chambers, there's a great many hazards we really weren't prepared for at all
