This is a specific problem with the UK and its establishment. Back before the internet, the UK Establishment (very much a cozy clique of old-school-chums, exactly as Yes Minister portrayed it) had a decent grip on the country. They could control most of what the media said, which was all of what the average Brit saw as news. Then all hell broke loose and suddenly any dirty little oik could publish whatever they liked on the internet for anyone to read. They've been trying to stuff this genie back in the bottle ever since. There's a whole plethora of controls over the internet in the UK [0] which do well for the general problem, but the bugbear is always E2E encryption - they can't read it! Any pleb can still say anything to anyone! This has to be stopped, clearly. So they keep trying.
