For background, Ghey was a transgender teenager who was killed by two other teenagers. Both were sentenced last week to life imprisonment with a minimum of 22 and 20 years respectively. They formulated their plans to kill a number of schoolchildren by befriending them and using plans they researched.
Now Ghey's mother has spoken to the BBC (who else?) to denounce the Internet as the "wild west" and calling for the state to restrict what children can view online in a way that would only work by removing access to the Internet and implementing a UK style Intranet. She also claims that it is impossible for parents to parent their children - therefore the state must intervene - by requiring all technology and what citizens see to be restricted by the state.
As we live in a time where people are treated like children by default, you are assumed to be a child by default (the Online Safety Act requires different treatment for content not "safe for kids" as an example), the desire that people need to be protected from themselves and everything must be done "for the children" and "for your own good".
For example, in North Korea, the general public have no access to the Internet. They do have access to Kwangmyong, the heavily restricted Intranet where everything citizens see and the technology used to access it is wholly controlled by the state.
Another case of not letting a tragedy go to waste.
ETA: Education Minister just told the BBC that they will be expanding age verification to all content not "safe for kids", not just pornography. Their preferred option to be introduced by 2025 is both Government Photo ID and live, on-going facial recognition. They're also not ruling out implementing an Intranet and banning the possession of technological devices for children.
Children should be restricted and we've had a tool to do that for centuries that's highly effective: being a parent.
Why was he (I'm assuming it was mtf) given Internet access with no parental controls enabled? Why were they just allowed to go out to meet some unknown people online without an escort? So much of this seems to be incompetent parenting so need the state to come in.
And this is a state where it's police can't HANDLE violent crime so getting it's ass kicked by third worlders regularly and has let actual criminals become police because their checks are pathetic.
Accept responsibility that you got your son killed by your own inadequate parenting, and let actual predators convince him to fall into their trap. This smells like both invested parties trying to push for more control of the Internet (which ironically would lead to less and they'd probably ditch the UK so they'd lose A LOT of Internet related jobs) and someone trying to avoid the guilt of their own failures.
I'm pretty sure the people who killed him were his classmates. I think the mother just wants to shut down criticism of herself and her dead son's degenerate fetish.
