The Internet Backlash



Check out this report on the evolution of the internet, from free-wheeling anarchy to a safe business environment and back again. The author goes on very eloquently about large corporations and their involvement in the internet. “Comparable to the indices of banned books created by the Catholic church in an attempt to maintain its monopoly, we see now the banning of technologies and the persecution of their creators because they threaten the status quo of traditionally dominant institutions.” Good stuff.
