Most of us take the internet for granted. It is the single greatest thing to happen in our lifetime. It has allowed for so much free and uncensored information to be shared by billions of people around the world. It is the most free and open thing we have access to these days. But this may not be the case in the near future. Heck, I might not be able to freely write up a post like this in even a few years time.
I'm sure you've heard your country's politicians talking about it. Internet censorship, content filtering, government control of our Internet. In nearly every country around the world there have been serious talks about this within the last couple of years. It's global and it's getting very close to becoming a reality. Below I have compiled some videos and article documenting the global government takeover of our Internet.
October 29, 2008: Australia plans to enforce mandatory Internet filter to block controversial content.
March 23, 2009: United States Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) addresses Congress on the need to regulate the Internet:
May 6, 2009: Bill introduced in the US to regulate the Internet to protect against "cyber bullying".
May 7, 2009: Global news and entertainment mogul Rupert Murdoch says "Internet will soon be over".
May 8, 2009: The European Union has called for "Internet G12" to plan global internet governance.
