Check out this freaky article. I'm not surprised. These are the things I believe are coming for all of us in the near future. In a way it's nice to see that I'm RIGHT and not crazy. But on the other hand, oh how wrong I wish I was.
I guess the question is, what exactly constitutes a "controversial opinion?" And who gets to decide? The fact that some government bureaucracy gets to make that decision for a group of other individuals is evil. This is just the beginning. At some point in the future, mark my words, the government will be restricting access for all of us to subjects that they deem controversial. Call me crazy now but don't come crying to me when they start gathering up all of your "controversial" books for a grand bonfire. You've been warned.

Scary is right. If one actually studies the effects of letting employees surf a little and chat a little they will find that it makes employees happier at work and also more productive during the times that they are working.
ReplyDeleteHappier employees = more productive employees. GO FIGURE!?
Nationwide, my employer, just published a paper on it and has implemented our own social network, installed chat clients on every computer and lessened the firewall block-list.
We will see how this all turns out, but I guess it has already shown benefits.
Actually my problem isn't with the government restricting access to gaming sites or social networking sites. I don't care so much about that. The abuse of power comes in determining what is and is not a controversial opinion.
ReplyDeleteWell, good news. Given the many voices that have expressed concern over this Orwellian policy, Janet Napolitano reversed her decision yesterday and will no longer attempt to silence "controversial opinions." Score one for the first amendment and to Americans being willing to raise their voices in support of liberty.
