The internet is probably the biggest headache for governments desperate to control the flow of information unfavorable to them.
Laws to try and ban certain websites like China already does are being proposed in Australia.
Given that Kevin Rudd has a secret reputation as a control freak it is not surprising that they want to censor the net and also get access to all our personal information by requiring ISP's to store it so that the Police can spy on anyone they like from their office computer without requiring a search warrant of any kind.
The internet is probably the last bastion of freedom of speech left in the western worldQuite right. "Freedom of speech" gives one the right to express anything that one wants to, but does not necessarily give one the right to express anything that one wants to express, wherever and whenever one wants to express it. Yelling "fire!' in a crowded theater and all that.
The internet is also probably the biggest headache for cults like the Jesus Christians (as well as the cults' supporters and apologists), desperate to control the flow of information unfavorable to them. The internet is probably the last bastion of freedom of speech left in the Western world.
It's near impossible to get a determined person to shut up, when they are broadcasting online.
However, one of the JCs more ardent supporter/apologists is actually in favor of abolishing the First Amendment outright. In his world, "freedom of speech" would be a thing of the past. Anybody care to see the proof of this, from his own blog?
I just can't get over it. The very person who blogs about abolishing the First Amendment, who posts dirty, sexist jokes to other forums, is the same guy who fanatically supports the Jesus Christians. Bizarre.
