link :: Power over the internet

There's an article on the internet about why the FCC will regulate the Internet one day. It actually has some interesting poings. When I read this I was talking to Denis and I asked him "What if Google was a government company?" lol. All these recent events with the MPAA vs. Lyrics/Guitar Tab websites, mp3 law suits, etc. are pretty disturbing one way or another. I can't wait till the EU really starts putting the pressure and takes away the power from ICANN. Something so widespread over the world shouldn't be in the hands of one country.

Not that it already didn't.

there's a guy where i work that used to work at a US govt. agency. supposedly, ms has a deal with the US govt. so that any computer running any ms os product could potentially be use to spy on other people.

i don't know whether i really believe that, but i thought i'd let you guys know.

They are getting so much information, and as time goes it grows more and more with all the new services they provide! Don't get me wrong, I love google and all the services they provide. Just an interesting theory (: Maybe a future Tom Clancy novell? hehe

I'm not sure about M$ letting government spy through their OS, but who knows? Anything's possible nowadays.

EU has laws that are developed to protect privacy by saying that all of the information about a person is owned by him, while US has nothing like that so insurance, health, credit information and so on is sold and resold and resold again without any of us even knowing about it.

I might be paranoid but I have a firewall one of the main tasks of which is to keep windows precesses from getting out and reporting on me.
