The other day I was telling my mum about how in China they can monitor and delete anything you post online. Even delete an entire type of post made by millions of people based on a keyword etc etc.

Her response, rather than the horror I was trying to i instil, was “I think we ought to have that here!”

So it does worry me that public support could go the wrong way on this if they spend a lot of time on messaging.

I hope that the high level of mistrust of the government - built up especially through covid - will prevail.
