Which will probably work just as well

The UK government is seriously considering building a national firewall similar to China.

The Director-General of Cyber at GCHQ, Ciaran Martin, gave a speech at a cybersecurity summit in DC recently and announced exciting plans to censor the UK internet at a DNS level.

Now they had no chance of building such an atrocity if they were part of the EU, but now they are free of that, it seems that the UK believes it can copy China.

He claimed that the spooks were exploring a flagship project on scaling up DNS filtering. This would provide automated defences at scale than by the major private providers effectively blocking their customers from coming into contact with known malware and bad addresses.
