The dangers of the internet for the governments

Governments are starting to realize the dangers the internet poses to their powers.

-Citizens in different countries are interacting together in ways they never would have before.

-People are reading news articles written by 'the other side'.

-Commentators and websites who aren't loyal to (filtered by) any large corporation are shifting the opinions of thousands.

-Politicians can no longer just say "I never said/did that" and have the country believe them. Within hours videos of them saying or doing that spring up all over the internet.

They'll try to reign the internet into their control under the guise of 'saving the children' or preventing terrorism, but they will fail. Pandora's box has been opened, and people have gotten too used to the internet as it is. They should have been where they are now 15 years ago to have any chance.

Oppose internet censorship

It's not just the English speaking countries that have fallen into apathy; it's happening everywhere in the western world. The ones who dare to oppose Internet censorship quickly get labeled as freaks who support child porn.

Matti Nikki, the most vocal opponent of the Finnish censorship system was slapped with a law suit ("spreading child pronography" when he published the filter list) and his site was censored. Nobody except us geeks care. Some of my non-geek friends are actually okay with this, since it's "FOR TEH CHILDRANS."

Fucking morons are happily giving away their freedom, and for what?
