quote: Robbo Mills said: War Against The Internet
This is a defacto war against the internet, in practice and in principle. Old media, entrenched as powerful multinational corporate controllers of what was once democratic governement institutions, seek to maintain their control over profits and content by subverting the rule of law. It is fascism, pure and simple, and must be stopped at all costs. Any government, any corporate power or any individual who supports these measures to control how we speak, hear and think amongst ourselves is an enemy of the people and must be treated accordingly. This is war. Our future and the future of our children depend upon our ability, here and now, to defend the most basic of human rights. As shrill as such a cry may sound it is nonetheless based on the reality they seek to impose. This is war.
