Surprise Surprise Surprise!
DARPA invented the internet.
about time someone said it
YEAH!
“Now, those of us who love liberty have to fix it.”
Funny. The Guardian is a lefty paper who butchered Bush, America etc since the Iraq War and one thing I hate about anti-Americans is when they prop up conservative terms when they’re on the back end of their liberal policies.
What amazes me is how anyone can be surprised that the government will use anything it can to keep the citizens under control.
Return to FACE-To-FACE communications, period.
Demand REAL customer service, human face-to-face interaction.
The benefits would be real;
1. People would have to learn to be civil to one another again. Let's face it, what people say anonymously to each other via the Internet is VASTLY different than when they have to interact face to face.
2. The NSA can no longer "spy on everyone." There simply aren't enough NSA staff to stand around and LISTEN to every conversation in public or private.
Keep your PRIVATE communications OFF the internet. Learn to actually interact with HUMANS, rather than computers. Demand face-to-face interactions and customer service.
Then watch how fast the Internet falls apart. My God in Heaven, we may actually return to a more civil, personable society!! OH THE HORROR!!!
The best way to take back the internet is to have and use strong encryption. And that means even going so far as to import strong encryption from abroad.
