Title: Internet Propaganda
Post by: an0n on October 05, 2002, 10:02:40 am: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/2299259.stm

It's one thing to go around openly crushing the rights and freedoms of the human race when you're doing it open-handedly, but to use lies, deciet and cries of equality and freedom of information to do it........That's just wrong.

I get the distinct impression that this was designed to be a plus even if it crumbles. If this little plan draws public outrage then methinks freedom of information will be branded as merely a tool for evil people to spread propaganda. And thus as a way of branding all hackers as terrorists.

Even here in the United Kingdom, blasphemy against Christianity is still a criminal offence. If I publish James Kirkup's poem, The Love That Dares To Speak Its Name, I could be charged with an offence.

Huh. Never knew that.
*goes to find the poem and put it on his site*

I'm all for oppressing people, but if you're not smart/powerful/well-planned enough to do it in plain view then you shouldn't be allowed to do it at all.

Errr..no. Basically it's a poem about some Roman centurion pulling down Jesus from the cross and having sex with him. IE, Postin-the-poem = Certain death/banning.

Look, I don't care. I sort of follow my own ideas when it comes to religion, so I REALLY don't give a rat's ass about that poem :D
