|
|
This advert appeared in the UK Sunday 'News
of the World' Paper.
Child abuse,
terrorism, racism. Should
censorship really be the only thing not allowed on the internet?
/discuss
The World Wide Web. Wide is a bit of an understatement. It just keeps getting
bigger, with more and more information being added every day. And that's the
beauty of the internet - anyone, anywhere can put anything on it. It belongs
to everyone. A place where freedom of
speech can exist. But is it so beautiful when the information put there is the
views of paedophiles, terrorists and racists? With no-one regulating the
internet, this information is now within reach of more homes than ever before.
It a the World Wide Web after all. But who in the world should regulate it?
Should it, and could it, be regulated at all? We have a view - that internet
providers, governments and individuals the world over can work together to
keep the internet open, but safer too. Which is why one of the things that we
do is support the Internet Watch Foundation. set up to monitor and minimise
the availability of child abuse images
onfine. But where does censorship begin and freedom of speech end?

Yes AOL are really emphasising the argument against the Internet as it is and consequentially for Internet 2 which is a totally government controlled affair
They show for and against videos on their website, but the only adverts drawn from here I've seen on the telly are against |

why would AOL lead a campaign to 'make the internet safe'? Why is that in their commercial interests. Seems to me we're being softened up for censorship of "whacky, conspiracy theory ideas". Apparently, one internet campaigner who was on the inside, Wayne Masden (ex NSA), is under investigation for revealing too much of what they don't want us to know. |

AOL have been monitoring their subscribers internet activity for a long time. The software that users install, tracks the sites they visit and sends the information back to them. |

This is interesting.
A friend of mine tried to remove his AOL isp software from his computer. On doing so, a program was run that shut his computer down. He took it somewhere to get it fixed and was told that the AOL program is designed to do that and he would have to have it re-configured to work with AOL again or buy a new computer. I think AOL is very ruthless, I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.
My father-in-law has AOL and it controls lots of what he does, coming up with messages and adverts he doesn't want. |
