The internet treats censorship as damage and routes around it.

I have no doubt that Russia censors their internet as best they can. This sort of freedom has never been in their history.

But make no mistake--we have censorship and sophisticated opinion manipulation in America, too. It's more subtle, but it is there. The mainstream media is an enormous lie factory and production is running full steam.

And it is getting worse. Have you noticed the recent and outrageous creation of the disinformation board in Homeland Security? That is the Ministry of Truth, exactly as Orwell described. My God.
