Unfortunately, as a UK voter, there's no way to do anything about this. The position of every party at the next election will be the current position plus more control in one form or another. I think we're living through a massive societal change, as big as the end of feudalism or the invention of the printing press. The internet is the first mass peer to peer communication system, and it works like the Christmas Truce in World War 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_truce#Fraternisation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_truce#Fraternisation Ultimately, when people can talk unmediated by elites, they begin to want similar rights (eg Arab Spring), to share ideas about oppression (eg Womens' Movements), to share information (eg piracy, wikileaks), and trade (eg Amazon). They essentially stop seeing borders as being important. This is revolutionary, and it's not surprising that the establishment is resisting it. The whole theory of nation-states is based around the primacy of local laws being the only way the people in a country can live. No country is going to want people doing an end run around that. Rules about pornography and the control of public morality are just one form of this. It's essentially the Shirky Principle: institutions will seek to preserve the problem to which they are the solution.
