I call BS.
Usually when it's the government doing it, it's because it's the government, or its lobby orgs doing it. Could those lobbies (in this case Carnegie, and whoever William Perrin was taking money from) had something to do with Facebook?
Prrrrobably, but I still call BS.
As it is right now, the EU and UK are pressuring Zuck to take responsibility for the rampancy of abusive images on Meta's apps, and lack of better content moderation.
Any way I see it, those restrictions imposed by Big Tech sites were made after pressure from governments that the public never saw, and now that it's the Government just doing it out in the open, it's because the Government is fucking subsidizing the entire internet after decades of failed compliance.
That's what this is. Whether it's really the government or just BlackRock doing it, ultimately I see it as an issue that the Government (and this is far from just the UK despite rolling it live first) who are "done" with the freedom of the internet.
They've been battling it for years. As soon as it became for Normies with Facebook and Twitter, and then 10 years into that normalization, it's raised the alarm by several citizen who experience the "horrors" of the internet for the first time. It used to only be seen by geeks who wanted to use computers before it was cool to do so in the 90s and early 00s, but since 2015 or whatever, a moral panic has started, and governments have been trying to put it under control by censoring the internet when they can't otherwise control it. Now they're actually doing it.
