Internet deregulation a success, Government claims
The Government's programme to deregulate the internet and encourage free communicativity has been largely successful, a new report claims.
Thanks to the Government's measures, the so-called "blogger boom" which threatened freedom of speech and endangered responsible journalism during the early years of the century has come to a definitive halt, the report says.
The Minister of In-Touchness, Dermot Feely, expressed satisfaction at the report's verdict and said that the measures demonstrated the Government's continuing commitment to energy conservation and free speech.
"The introduction of the corporate webspace discount and the extensive measures we have taken to safeguard the responsible usage of electronic communicativity potentialities has constituted a considerable upgrade in British life enhancement," Mr Feely said this morning.
Allan Fusbudget, ex-Guardian editor and author of the book on journalistic standards Valuing our Living, was quick to agree with the minister's statement. "Life is a lot less confusing for our readers now that sources of conflicting information have been reduced," Mr Fusbudget said.
Mr Fusbudget was referring to the phenomenon of "bloggers", a peculiar mass phenomenon from the early years of the century which used the non-deregulation of the internet to promote a wide variety of conspiracy theories and controversial political positions.
Many bloggers were anti-semitic or recruitment centres for terrorist groups or paedophile rings or used bad language. Some even suggested that Israel was a terrorist state or that the late George W Bush had won election as President of the United States by unfair means.
A few pressure groups have claimed that the corporate webspace discount has reduced freedom of speech by limiting it to multinational companies which can afford the webspace fees. However, many such pressure groups are thought to be composed of former bloggers and their reliability on the matter is said to be "questionable".
