Proceeding contribution from Paul Farrelly (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 November 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Internet and Video Games.


Internet and Video Games

The hon. Gentleman said that it is absurd to say that we cannot regulate the internet, but it is a myth that the internet cannot be regulated. Too often, people say, ““Oh, it’s the internet; we don’t know where it is. It’s around the world, so it cannot be regulated.”” That is a recipe for inaction. In fact, as we found out, everybody who connects to the internet has to do so through an internet service provider in their home country. We are not sufficiently advanced that people can connect without those intermediaries via satellites, and connections can be regulated.
