Video: Internet Freedoms Lost: A Search Story
http://lauren.vortex.com/archive/000841.html
Greetings. Congress is hellbent on imposing Internet censorship,
using exaggerated claims of piracy as the excuse for draconian COICA
and other legislation that would give the U.S. government unparalleled
control over the operations and content not only of U.S. based
Internet sites, but (via the DNS - Domain Name System) sites around
the world in other countries as well.
And with a major target of Congress now appearing to be search engines
such as Google, Congressional efforts seem aimed at declaring that
even providing a link or other information about an "offending" site
should be prohibited.
Attempts to censor and otherwise micromanage the search results of
Google and other search engines are an additional enormous threat to
free speech and civil liberties globally.
Can these enormously important issues be boiled down to a very short,
very quickly produced "Search Story" video?
Let's find out.
