On the subject of goverment censorship and control of information.

"Secret copyright treaty leaks. It's bad. Very bad."

"* That the whole world must adopt US-style "notice-and-takedown"
rules that require ISPs to remove any material that is accused --
again, without evidence or trial -- of infringing copyright. This has
proved a disaster in the US and other countries, where it provides an
easy means of censoring material, just by accusing it of infringing
copyright. "
