Look at china and their desperate efforts to censor the web or european
countries whos bureaucracys dream of doing the same... like finnland for example |
you think politicians run the world? let me guess, that terminator guy became the gov of cali because of his many years of political study right, or, maybe because he could rally the ppl as a popular figure whilst being told what to do by someone above?
maybe more work in a country would be done if there was heavy censorship? just think of all the potential work hours wasted from funny pictures and porny pictures being sent around the office - so censorship on a country level actually makes some sort of sense!
