The free flow of information vs. censorship is the key social issue of our time. It is almost like having a front row seat to watching history repeat itself re. Printing, radio and television.
"History repeats itself -- first time as tragedy, second time as farce" -- Marx.
I suppose we are at the farce stage with the Internet.
One free flow of information can really drown out another free flow of information until it acts like censorship. Getting information out in the open is not cheap where we are dominated by corporate media.
