Sergey Brin Says Facebook, Apple and Gov't Biggest Threats To Internet Freedom
An anonymous reader writes "Google co-founder Sergey Brin has listed three threats to Internet freedom: Facebook, Apple, and governments that censor their citizens. Brin's comments were made to The Guardian: 'The threat to the freedom of the internet comes, he claims, from a combination of governments increasingly trying to control access and communication by their citizens, the entertainment industry's attempts to crack down on piracy, and the rise of "restrictive" walled gardens such as Facebook and Apple, which tightly control what software can be released on their platforms.'"
Should be intuitively obvious to the most casual observer.
Apple is worse than Microsoft ever was. And I am no fan of Microsoft.
4 or 5 still isn't enough .. my estimate is 6 or 7. Which would coincidentally be the perfect solution for global warming, the energy crisis, the food crisis and the environment. Including all species which are about to go extinct. Very sad for those involved, but a godsend for the planet indeed.
