Do a search for "Internet Censorship Wikileaks". Every government has their own set of morals and standards and politically motivated black list. Certainly the USA wants to swagger and force its will on not only its own people but the entire planet, but they are not alone. Australia, China, North Korea, Germany........ Etc............ All with their own agenda. It would be great if there was ONE entity that controlled content and each country had to abide by their decisions in order to haveaccess to the backbone but that's only just a dream at this point.
Dream ? That's a nightmare. It would rapidly lead to the worst of both worlds. Internet rules would be made like intellectual property rules, in the dead of night by non-elected government bureaucrats at the behest of corporate lobbyists. Study the history of ACTA if you doubt me.

The flat earth that should be the flow of information needs to be demanded by everyone. That's my 13 cents worth. (Inflation sucks) But who am I but just a thinking and caring animal of this planet?

Deal allI want to show you some obstacles that some countries face them every day.For example when users from Sudan trying to access some web site they willget a *Forbidden Access Error* message.And some messages say: you are forbidden to access this web site because your IP address appears form country black listed due to USA governmentpolicy. I would like to issue a question here, who controls this Internet? ThanksTarig _________________________________________________________________ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
