It's just a series of tubes.Oh brother. Thanks for confirming you have no idea wtf you're talking about.But the U.S., as you currently believe, controls the internet. Why did we let China censor it?If the U.S. controls the internet... then how have China, Russia, Iran, and other countries been able to censor their internet for 20+ years? Why did the U.S. allow that?
'To Americans and other Westerners, it might seem odd that Internet censorship is still possible at a time when YouTube, satellite TV and online chat rooms produce an overwhelming flow of real-time news and data. Yet authoritarian regimes from Cuba to Saudi Arabia to Pakistan rely on a mix of sophisticated technology and old-fashioned intimidation to ensure that dissent can be repressed, even in the Information Age.
No one does it quite like China, which has proved that old-school communist apparatchiks could tame something as wild as the Web. China has the world's "most sophisticated" Internet filtering system, according to the OpenNet Initiative, an academic cooperative that tracks censorship issues.'
'Hacktivists' Fight China's Web Censors
Just another failure...there is a long,long list of them...but from what I have read they have developed sophisticated technology that allows them to do it of which we could not overcome even if we had wanted....but you are taking the term 'control' a little too literally ...the reality is America has allowed other nations the freedom to do what they want...for good or bad.
Even if we were able to overide Chinas sophisticated technology that allow them to censor their nations internet does anyone think it would be done? Does anyone now or did anyone in the previous administrations have the balls for that..of course not....the goal is to prevent any friction with china...the last thing this or any administration wanted was trouble with China...we bend over backwards to accomodate them.....well....after all...look at the trillions of dollars they have loaned us.
Well, we are all waiting with bated breath for you to explain to the board how the internet really works....giver al gore a call if you are having trouble writing that reply...ya know since he invented it..he should be able to help you. hehheh
