So we must censor everything to protect us from misinformation which allows the censors to determine what is available and what is lot.

Sounds an awful lot like China.

Geez Brits. One shit decision after another. Just like your western children.

US: Father, why did you vote for Brexit?

UK: Son, who are you to talk? You voted for Trump twice. Now shut up before your mother chimes in...

France: No wonder I took the house in the divorce and left you with your father.

US: Well at least I didn't abandon my affair baby Haiti.

France:...

UK: Did you really have to go there son?

    Yeah, I think this is a terrible way to address the problem and very likely a way for elites to re-assert their control over information sources using this emergency.

    It's certainly not about 'protecting children' in the way that they're presenting it.
