Internet control
Hi folks, I'm writing again because I need to. I find it pretty interesting how the Internet is now just a big telescope to watch What you write and say. Now countries with a serious control problem are asking places like Facebook and google to make it impossible to bitch about things going on. Think some thieving 2nd rate country like china is only doing this? Then you are sorely mistaken. The current white house is taking notes.
I find this really disconcerting. Don't you?
Anyhow the freedom of free speech has been test many times. 60 million people fought and dies over this concept
Now the Internet will set the precedent to "control" your speech. Agreement or disagreement will be limited or allowed so long as it in the scope of "acceptable" language.
Why am I say ing this? Because more and more the statesmanship of yesteryear is vanishing and dying, true prose for the sake of evoking conversation is going away, and in its place is a Facebook mentality.
The Internet is a wonderful place. But , I believe it will soon erode away to a seriously sick and rotten wasteland of privacy invasion and political intimidation .
It's already happening folks, and if you don't bitch, you will soon have the very thought police that Orwell wrote about so long ago. Think about this:
How many books do you have on your bookshelf , and how many do you have on you iPad or smart phone?
It's not green it's Fahrenheit 451 with no fire
I mean it if you think I'm paranoid, go watch china.
You won't like what you see.
Of course if they ever come here to collect their debt with us I'm afraid the egg foo young committee might have a private word and a bullet with my name on it. Only then it won't be so far fetched
So when you Facebook or hoofer tonight. Blog away or not....
But bear in mind one day you may have to answer for your crime of speaking your mind
Good night....
