August 31, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - “The days are now numbered for surfing an uncensored, open-access Internet, using your favorite search engine to search a bottomless cyber-sea of information in the grandest democratic forum ever conceived by humankind. Instead you can look forward to Googling about on a walled-off, carefully selected corpus of government propaganda and sanitized information "safe" for public consumption. Indoctrinated and sealed off from the outer world, you will inhabit a matrix where every ounce of creative, independent thinking that challenges government policies and values will be squelched.”
- Eliot D. Cohen Ph.D.
Is this true? Is this where we are heading?
In his thoughtful, in-depth LifeSiteNews.com Special Report on this issue John Jalsevac examines issues such as the following:
* China's massive, technically very sophisticated control of information flow through its Internet system and the model this might become for other nations
* The Problems and Complexities of Internet Censorship
* Libertarian, Leftist Obfuscation
* Is An Unconstitutional Ideological Censorship Possible?
* Corporate monopoly concentration of the web and their censorship and web of deceit
* Government Censorship
...and more
There is a lot to consider about this issue of possibly losing our newfound freedom from the past control of information and news by governments and media and the huge advance of democratic possibilities that the Internet is giving the world's non-elites.
Forewarned is forearmed for LifeSiteNews.com readers who depend on this service and many others Internet services for the truth and for dependable, critical news and information that cannot be obtained elsewhere.
