>But if I'm trying to sell you on the idea of the value of information
Information is a double-edged sword and the British government with it's civil servants are on the ropes because of information being propagated online. People got their information regarding grooming gangs and other politically incorrect subjects from elsewhere than their mainstream media, now that people are seriously questioning the narrative and seeking information elsewhere it's scaring the shit out of them. You cannot have a state that has had it's social cohesion eroded by decades of political failure and mass migration followed by an economic downturn, which is why they are trying to limit the amount of information the average bong can access. It probably won't succeed without much harsher measures, but we're dealing with technologically illiterate boomers and midwits here so they'll give this one a try
