Net neutrality, the FCC, Wikileaks and the future of internet freedom

(NaturalNews) Regardless of what you think about the Wikileaks release of state secrets, there’s no debating the astonishing fact that the internet made these leaks possible. Without the internet, no single organization such as Wikileaks would have been able to so widely propagate secret government information and make it public. In the old model of information distribution — centralized mainstream media newspapers and news broadcasts — such information would have been tightly controlled thanks to government pressure. But the internet allows individual information publishers to bypass the censorship of government. In the case of Wikileaks, it allowed an Australian citizen to embarrass the U.S. government while sitting at a laptop computer in the United Kingdom. Governments don’t like to be embarrassed. They don’t like their secrets aired on the internet. Sure, it’s okay for governments to tap all of your secrets by monitoring your phone calls, emails and web browsing habits, but every government seeks to protect its own secrets at practically any cost. That’s why the upshot of this Wikileaks release may be that governments will now start to look for new ways to censor and control the internet in order to prevent such information leaks from happening in the future. What governments around the world are suddenly beginning to realize is that a free internet is ultimately incompatible with government secrets , and secrets are essential to any government that wants to remain in power. That’s because, as even Noam Chomsky stated in this DemocracyNow video interview (http://www.democracynow.org/2010/11/30/noam_chomsky_wikileaks_cables_reveal_profound), most government secrets are based on information governments wouldn’t want their people to discover — secrets that might threaten the legitimacy of government if the people found out the truth. How the FCC plans to seize authority over the internet As part of a long-term plan to control content on the internet, the FCC is now attempting to assert authority over the internet in the same way it has long exercised content censorship authority over broadcast television and radio. The reason you can’t say those seven dirty words on broadcast television, in other words, is because the FCC controls broadcast television content and can simply revoke the broadcast licenses of any television station that refuses to comply. This is the same tactic, in the internet world, of yanking a web site’s domain name, which the Department of Homeland Security has already begun doing over the last several weeks (http://www.naturalnews.com/030542_censorship_internet.html). The FCC also controls content on the radio and can yank the broadcast licenses of any radio stations that refuse to comply with its content censorship. This is why operators of “pirate radio stations” are dealt with so harshly: For the government to allow any radio station to operate outside its censorship and control is to invite dissent. The internet, of course, has been operating freely and without any real government censorship for roughly two decades. In that time, it has grown to be what is arguably the most influential medium in the world for information distribution. Most importantly, the internet is the medium of information freedom that is not controlled by any government. The U.S. government wants to change all that, and they’ve dispatched the FCC to reign in the “freedoms” of the internet. How to crush internet Free Speech The first step to the FCC’s crushing of internet freedom is to assert authority over the internet by claiming to run the show. The FCC, of course, has no legal authority over the internet. It was only granted authority in 1934 over broadcast communications in the electromagnetic spectrum — you know, radio waves and antennas, that kind of thing. There is nothing in the Communications Act of 1934 that grants the FCC any authority over the internet because obviously the internet didn’t exist then, and it would have been impossible for lawmakers in the 1930′s to imagine the internet as it operates today. So instead of following the law, the FCC is trying to “fake” its way into false authority over the internet by claiming authority in the current “net neutrality” debate. By asserting its authority with net neutrality, the FCC will establish a beachhead of implied authority from which it can begin to control and censor the internet. This is why “net neutrality” is a threat to internet freedom. It’s not because of anything to do with net neutrality itself, but rather with the FCC’s big power grab in its assertion that it has authority over websites just like it has authority over broadcast radio. The FCC may soon tell you what you can post on the internet Where is this all heading? Once the FCC establishes a foothold on the ‘net, it can then assert that it has the power to tell you what to post on the internet . Here’s how it might unfold: First, the FCC will simply ban what it calls “information traitors,” which will include people like Julian Assange (Wikileaks) who publish state secrets. (Technically Julian Assange can’t be a traitor since he’s not even American in the first place, but don’t expect the FCC to care about this distinction.) Once the public is comfortable with that, the FCC will advance its agenda to include “information terrorists” which will include anything posted about Ron Paul, the federal reserve and the counterfeit money supply, G. Edward Griffin, or anything from true U.S. patriots who defend the Constitution. The anti-state website www.LewRockwell.com (where some of my own articles have appeared from time to time) would also be immediately banned because its information is so dangerous to government control. After that censorship is in place, the FCC will likely begin to push the corporate agenda by banning websites that harm the profits of large corporations. This will include, of course, websites like NaturalNews.com which teach people about health freedom , nutritional cures, natural remedies and alternatives to Big Pharma’s high-profit pharmaceuticals. The way this will come about is that the FCC may require a license to publish health information on the web , in much the same way that states currently license doctors to practice medicine. This is how conventional medicine has operated its monopoly for so long, by the way: By controlling the licensing of doctors at the state level. Any doctor who dares prescribe nutritional supplements or suggest that medication might be harmful to a patient immediately gets stripped of his license to practice medicine (and thereby put out of business). The FCC will likely do the same thing across the internet. Sites that publish health information without a license will be deemed “a threat to public health” and be seized by the government. The first target? Anti-vaccine websites. Vaccines are so crucial to the continuation of disease and medical enslavement in America that any site questioning the current vaccine mythology will be deemed a threat to public health — or perhaps even a “terrorism” organization. Essentially, once the FCC has gained power and authority over the internet, it will use that power to push a Big Government / Big Business agenda that censors the truth, keeps people trapped in a system of disinformation, and silences anyone who challenges the status quo. The FCC is poised to become the FDA of internet information , banning alternative speech and enforcing an information monopoly engineered by powerful corporations. Think of the FCC as the new the Ministry of Truth from George Orwell’s novel 1984 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Truth). This is not about net neutrality, it’s about the FCC power grab Remember, I am not arguing here for or against the principle of net neutrality itself, but rather warning about the FCC’s imposition of false authority over the internet in the first place. The idea of net neutrality has merits, but granting the FCC the power to control the internet is a disastrously bad idea that will only end in censorship and “information tyranny” — especially now that governments around the world are witnessing the “dangers” of information freedom via the Wikileaks fiasco. If there’s one thing governments hate, it’s real freedom. Sure, they all talk about freedom and publicly claim their allegiance to it, but behind the scenes what they really want is total information control . That’s because freedom gives people the ability to say what they want, to whomever they want, and even to oppose the doctrine of the government. Just look at China and how it has censored the internet to the point where you can’t even log in to Facebook from that country. Governments hate freedom because freedom threatens centralized power and control over the People . And because governments hate freedom, they also hate the internet as long as it’s free. This is why bloggers and internet journalists are right now imprisoned all over the world for merely posting the truth (http://www.cpj.org/imprisoned/cpjs-2008-census-online-journalists-now-jailed-mor.php). As Noam Chomsky said in his DemocracyNow interview (link above), what the recent Wikileaks releases really show is that the U.S. government has “a profound hatred for democracy.” It also happens to have a profound hatred for actual freedom, because people who are free to think for themselves and write whatever they want are always going to be a threat to a government that wants people to conform, obey and acquiesce. All government agencies seek to expand their power What do the FCC, FDA, TSA, DEA, FTC and USDA all have in common? They all want more power. They want more authority, bigger budgets and more control over the world around them. They are like cancer tumors, growing in size and toxicity while they consume more and more by stealing resources from a healthy host. The bigger these cancer tumors become, the more dangerous they become to the health of the host body, and the more urgently they need to be held in check or excised from the body entirely. There is no such thing as a government agency that wants to be smaller, with shrinking budgets and fewer employees on the taxpayer payroll. Government departments — just like people — incessantly seek more power even at the expense of freedom among those they claim to serve. And this move by the FCC to assume control over the internet is one of the most dangerous power grabs yet witnessed in the short history of the information age. By the way, one of the reasons we created and launched www.NaturalNews.TV was because we wanted a video site that could not be turned off by YouTube . You’ve probably heard the horror stories of famous content producers like Alex Jones having their YouTube accounts suddenly terminated. NaturalNews.TV is a safe haven for alternative health content that cannot be turned off by a large corporation that doesn’t recognize the value of health freedom. Feel free to participate by uploading videos or viewing the many thousands of free videos available right now at www.NaturalNews.TV By the way, I recommend reading another outstanding article on this topic written by John Naughton at The Guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2010/dec/06/western-democracies-must-live-with-leaks). Here’s a taste of what he writes: Consider, for instance, how the views of the US administration have changed in just a year. On 21 January, secretary of state Hillary Clinton made a landmark speech about internet freedom, in Washington DC, which many people welcomed and most interpreted as a rebuke to China for its alleged cyberattack on Google. “Information has never been so free,” declared Clinton. “Even in authoritarian countries, information networks are helping people discover new facts and making governments more accountable.” She went on to relate how, during his visit to China in November 2009, Barack Obama had “defended the right of people to freely access information, and said that the more freely information flows the stronger societies become. He spoke about how access to information helps citizens to hold their governments accountable, generates new ideas, and encourages creativity.” Given what we now know, that Clinton speech reads like a satirical masterpiece.

Facebook devolves into dark web of anonymous hate speech

(NaturalNews) When broadcast television was first invented in the first half of the 20th century, it was quickly heralded as a technological breakthrough that would inspire, educate and uplift human civilization. Educational programs and useful knowledge could be cheaply and efficiently broadcast to people everywhere, it was thought. The FCC even required television stations to run news programming without commercials as a trade-off for being granted broadcast space in the electromagnetic spectrum. This TV news, it was thought, was the broadcast station’s obligation to the betterment of society. Those were the humble and well-intentioned beginnings of television, a game-changing “disruptive” technology that we now know has actually dumbed-down our population while becoming a cesspool for manipulative corporate advertising and idiotic entertainment. Far from enlightening human civilization, television has arguably enslaved it, seductively luring the population into a downward spiral of runaway consumerism, debt, disease and mainstream stupidity. While educational television programming may still be found through such organizations as Nova, the BBC, The Learning Channel, Discovery and notable others, the bulk of television programming available today is an insult to the potential of human intelligence, and it only contributes to the collapse of meaningful discourse — a fact that becomes grossly obvious during every political election campaign. The age of the internet The internet has often been described as a far more intelligent medium than broadcast television. TV is a one-way street, after all: Program directors and advertisers shout their messages into the minds of passive observers (couch potatoes), none of whom have an opportunity to really participate or respond. The internet is a two-way street, though: People can vote, comment and query. And for this reason, it has long been believed that the internet is healthy for society. Getting people engaged in discussions and participating in creative contribution projects seems a lot smarter than having them sprawled out in front of the old boob tube, mindlessly hypnotized by another episode of some me-too reality TV show. Facebook, of course, has played the role of a key enabler in the online “mass participation” trend. But what has emerged from Facebook and other social network has not been the thoughtful, reasoned discussions and contributions we might idealistically hope to see. Rather, Facebook has, for reasons you’ll soon see, brought out the worst in people , devolving into a tangled web of anonymous hate speech directed to anything and everything within reach. Hence the new nickname for Facebook… Hatebook. How Facebook became a hate engine What could have been a platform for community sharing, idea-gathering and creative problem solving has devolved (with some exceptions) into a juvenile hate-fest of truly idiotic half-thoughts. And the Haters who prowl Facebook looking for something to attack and destroy are not merely a small minority of its population; at times they seem to dominate the conversations there. Yes, there are many thoughtful, positive and intelligent people using Facebook. Quite a few frequent our NaturalNews page, in fact. But far too often their thoughtful ideas are drowned out by what can only be called “mindless hate.” In discussing this, however, let’s differentiate between reasonable criticism and mindless hate . “Reasonable criticism” is a comment or criticism emerging from reasoned consideration of some issue. A lot of what I write, for example, is “reasonable criticism” because it offers criticism and then explains reasons for arriving at that criticism. This article is a good example of reasonable criticism. “Mindless hate,” on the other hand, is a kind of irrational, emotionally-charged hate speech that places no value on facts, reason or logic of any kind. It is merely an emotional discharge, almost a kind of mental vomit that has been splattered across the online world. And it contains some of the most vicious hate speech that has ever been recorded in human history. I once read a post from a person who said, essentially, “I am sending out love to everyone on planet Earth!” From there, one Facebook Hater posted, “That must include the terrorists, too. So you love terrorists!” This was quickly followed by another Hater who chimed in, “I can’t believe she loves terrorists! Terror lover!” From there, if you can believe it, the posts devolved into even more mindless discharges of venomous nonsense against a woman who only sought to post something positive and uplifting. I’ve asked around the natural health community as well as the celebrity community, and I’ve found that nearly every person who gains notoriety is now being victimized by a constant assault of hate speech on Facebook, Twitter and other social networks. Fine film actors, esteemed scientists, spiritual teachers and authors are all being assaulted by Hatebook vitriol. No person of noteworthiness escapes being targeted by Facebook Haters because they operate 24 hours a day and, most important of all, they operate with complete anonymity . Haters, you see, are emboldened by their anonymity. If real names were required on Facebook, the density of hate speech would drop sharply. Because a lot of what people say in their hate rants is so bizarre and defamatory that they would never allow their real names to be attached to such verbiage. So they create fake accounts, then post their hate messages under false identities, allowing their inner hate to scream out to the world without any risk that such bizarre behavior would reflect on them as real people in the real world. Which brings me to a curious question: Who, exactly, are these Haters? The Hater next door As it turns out, these are ordinary, everyday people. These are the people who are frustrated with their jobs, frustrated with their marriages, frustrated with their economic situation and frustrated with life. They have no place to vent this frustration in the real world. You can’t tell off your boss and expect to still receive a paycheck. You can’t scream at your husband or wife without risking a divorce. You can’t go around shooting people on the streets without getting arrested and thrown in prison. But you can assassinate people online. Anonymously… and protected by the very structure of Facebook which seems to be designed to actually encourage argument (because conflict results in more posts, more attention and therefore more advertising revenue). Your typical Facebook Hater is often the same guy you think is “a nice neighbor.” He’s quiet, polite in public, and follows the rules of society in the real world. But in the world of online anonymity, he becomes the Dark Lord Sauron, master of his domain of destruction, destroyer of dreams and all that is good. Mua-hah-hah! He becomes, in other words, an entirely different person. And the extremes expressed by those two people might easily result in him being diagnosed as having “multiple personality disorder” if such divergent behavior were expressed in the real physical world. But in the online world, it now seems all too “normal.” Women, of course, are not immune to this. In fact, some women can be just as vicious as men in the world of social networking. Women tend to understand social complexities better than most men, so they often know where to strike to cause the greatest emotional pain. Women dominate Facebook these days, and some of the most bizarre and truly sickening posts I’ve ever read came from people who claimed to be women (but being in the online world, you never really know…). Facebook, by the way, does not give users the ability to effectively and permanently ban haters from posting on their wall, nor does it offer any sort of “hate filters” or other technologies that might ease this situation. As I hinted earlier, Facebook actually seems to encourage hate speech because it engenders conflict, and conflict attracts attention. That attention, in turn, translates into more page views and more ad revenues. To end hate speech on Facebook could mean losing half its traffic (or more). There’s just no financial incentive to stop hate from propagating across social networks like Facebook. Facebook, you might say, feeds on hate . The destruction of good people The upshot of all this is that online hate speech is destroying the lives of many brilliant people . I know several genius-level individuals from the academic world who just couldn’t take the onslaught of Facebook hate speech and ended up closing their accounts, removing all social networking buttons and retreating to the online equivalent of a hermit’s hut in the woods. What’s sad is that these are tremendously intelligent, talented people who have very important gifts of knowledge and insight to offer humanity. They are being systematically shouted off the stage by what can only be called idiotic hate speech vented from anonymous Haters who truly offer nothing to this world. They are, you might say, “useless Haters.” Imagine if Facebook had existed in the time of Einsten or the famed physicist Richard Feynman. These brilliant physicists — whose ideas literally transformed our understanding of the universe — would have been relentlessly attacked as fraudsters and quacks by the prevailing idiocy of the masses. “Time is relative? It’s absurd! What kind of freakin’ idiot would even believe such a stupid idea?” And this would be followed by a few thousand posts of follow-up haters who neither have the intellectual capacity to understand Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity nor the inclination to learn more about it before lashing out in condemnation of it. The tone of devolving thought What’s really happening with Facebook, Twitter and other social networks is that the conversations that dominate society are devolving into mindless hate speech . Bobby hates Sherry. Sherry hates Cindy’s dress. Cindy hates Bobby’s stupid grin… and Bobby slept with Sherry the other night, even though he hates her, just to take a snapshot and embarrass her online. This kind of thing is then followed by the most inane and utterly useless scraps of non-knowledge, such as: “I burned my toast this morning, and it reminded me of what a bitch you are” except, of course, I’ve spelled it all too well here. In the real world of Hatebook, such an insult would appear more like, “i burnt my tost this mrning, and it rimind me of what a bitch u r” followed by “ur pethetic” from someone else who can’t spell, either. And round and round it goes — a chorus of madness based on a kind of mental derangement that seems to have infected an alarming percentage of the online population. Don’t misinterpret me here, though: In no way am I saying that everyone online behaves in this way. What I’m saying is that those intelligent, thoughtful people who have something important to add to a discussion are frequently being drowned out by the haters who can always scream louder than the person they’re attacking. And yet we still need social networks Why does any of this matter? Because Facebook, Twitter and other social networks are now so popular that integrating with them is essential for the success of just about any online business. You either use them or you miss opportunities for reaching people. And if you use them, you automatically subject yourself to the hate speech of the deranged, creating not merely emotional stress but also an administrative task of trying to remove hate posts and counter the false and misleading “hate liars” who intentionally post information they know to be falsified. This is true regardless of which side of the issue you’re on. Whether you’re a Republican or Democrat; whether you’re into natural health or conventional medicine; whether you believe in global warming or think it’s a hoax… no matter what side you take on any issue, you are going to be targeted for idiotic hate speech by the mindless social networking haters who invoke their hate outbursts as a kind of mental masturbation. They “get off” on destroying everyone else while reducing reasoned conversations to linguistic seizures sprinkled with spite. The big-picture result of this is that people who go online feel increasingly negative and stressful about their lives. Society suffers as a whole when anonymous hate speech is allowed to dominate the bits and bytes of the ‘net. These days, there’s almost no room left for reasoned verbal discourse. Common sense, it seems, can’t fit into a 140-character tweet. Forget the TV sound bite — online bites are mere fragments of thought that often contain nothing other than seemingly random words placed in some bizarre sequence interspersed with insults or profanity. This is the best we can do? Really? This is the civilization that sent men to the moon, that built an atomic supercollider, that has unlocked many secrets of biochemistry and that hopes to someday colonize other worlds? Who, exactly, is going to develop the next generation of technological innovations when our teens are too busy texting and cheating on tests to actually learn mathematics? How are democracies going to survive if there’s no tolerance for rational discussions about political candidates and their policies, and the whole contest comes down to who can spew the most lies to the greatest number of voters? Solutions? So how do we shift the tone of online interactions into a more positive, responsible direction? This is a crucial question for our time, and it’s one that is just barely beginning to be considered. A knee-jerk reaction often leads to the idea of, “Well let’s require everybody to have a license to use the internet, and they can only use their real names.” At first, it might sound like a decent idea, but the more you look into this, the more quickly you realize that this would turn the internet into a virtual police state, with governments monitoring, controlling and censoring online discussions. Anyone “caught” arguing against mandatory vaccination policies, for example, might be banned from using the ‘net. For obvious reasons, governments should never control access to speech. Police State nations like China are already putting such requirements in place, and they are very effective at allowing the government to censor and control online conversations. Such draconian rules don’t make sense in a nation like the USA where freedom of speech is still widely respected. But there are other potential solutions available to us. At the very least, social networks like Facebook could do a lot more to improve the situation. They could provide users with better tools to ban Haters or automatically filter out posts with an overtly negative tone. Facebook could introduce a “reputation” system where people are voted into “white hat” or “black hat” status based on what other users think of their comments. Users could then automatically ban any posts from those with low reputation scores. A reputation system, you see, is what could bring back some measure of civility to the internet, even if real people hide behind virtual names. I believe there is a billion-dollar idea here, where some energetic entrepreneur could introduce a reputation monitor system that could offer internet-wide reputation scores for a given user, allowing websites to use that reputation score as part of their content visibility calculations. In fact, I foresaw the need for such a service nearly a decade ago and registered many domain names back then such as ReputationMonitor.com, ReputationGuard.com and ReputationServices.com. If anyone reading this is interested in creating and launching a reputation technology system that could help solve the problem of Hatebook Haters, I’d be very interested in partnering with you and promoting your solution. While a reputation system is one idea for reducing the tone of mindless hate on the ‘net, there may be other ideas that are just as powerful that we haven’t thought of yet. Keyword analysis systems can easily score posts in terms of their positivity or negativity, and sites like Twitter or Facebook could allow users to control their own “hate filters” (sort of like parental filters for children) that would automatically filter out the most negative posts. (Spam filters often work in much the same way.) This could serve as a kind of “hate firewall” that would greatly reduce the amount of mindless hate that gets spewed across the internet. We have firewalls for viruses and hackers… why not for Haters, too? Here’s another interesting idea: Develop a linguistic analysis engine that can sit on top of a corporation’s data stream and filter all incoming and ongoing text for extremely hate-filled emails or text posts. We actually developed a similar technology that already exists underneath our NaturalNews.com content system: It rates stories for their top concepts and then statistically relates those concepts to other stories in order to make intelligent recommendations for readers. Doing the same thing for emails or text posts is a fairly straightforward matter. But in order to get to these solutions, we as an online society must first recognize that the “Hatebook” approach to online communications is simply not acceptable. We must admit that allowing anonymous hate speech to continue online is destroying our collective quality of life while adding nothing of value to society. And yet, if we take action to reduce the anonymity of Haters, we must take care to preserve the freedoms of speech that make the internet, as a whole, a very valuable tool for the sharing of knowledge, creativity and solutions. This is obviously a difficult balancing act, and I don’t claim to have all the answers. I just know that what I’ve seen coming out of Facebook is some of the most dark, hateful and truly devolved “free speech” I’ve ever witnessed. And it is destroying the good will of good people to whom our world owes a debt of gratitude. We can do better than this. We must do better, in fact, if we hope to survive as a civilization. The open sharing of intelligent ideas is crucial, I believe, to us finding solutions for the really big questions that confront us today: How will our planet survive humanity’s destructive domination? How will we colonize other planets to insulate ourselves against future cataclysmic events? How can we preserve and expand the whole of human knowledge so that future generations are wiser than we? How can we explore the causes of happiness? These questions cannot be discussed in an environment that favors mindless hatred and anonymous stupidity over well-formed ideas and reasoned argument.
