"How do you prevent foreign interests from manipulating your population over the internet?"
Ideally through an education that allows people to make up their own minds, and though "education" could be considered a form of propaganda I mean an education that is open and teaches people to think for themselves. Of course that requires your society being one that free thinking people want to support =)
The easier way is better propaganda on our side, you have to admit it's pretty hard to beat Hollywood's propaganda since it's so entertaining.
Each region will censor social sites then no doubt create their own sites leaving no truly World wide social sites, perhaps even so far as to create walled gardens for each region with little crosstalk in social, commerce, or informational sites.
Look around you at all the people you see in the 40's, how many of them are overweight? How many obese? I would say that the environmental challenges (food, food additives) people face are the most likely cause of early decline in brain function.
On top of all that most people stop challenging their brains at around 35 moving forward so if you don't use it you lose it.
Seems to me they are playing more than one hand at the table as well, lawmakers could say no to SOPA and yes to PIPA, it's a win for the media groups anyway you look at it.

I'm only worried about this sort of thing when the day comes that I walk into a store and they say "We don't take cash and why is your cellphone off?" until that day the people complaining about this seem foolish to me, because you have the power currently to thwart this by using cash and turning off your cell or using a shielded sleeve, but you don't, because your "convenience" takes priority over your "outrage".
So I suggest the Canon T3i DSLR, as the lens is everything in a camera, megapixels not so much, however the T3i has plenty of megapixels too. It also doubles as a 1080P video camera and since you can change the lens the video options are fantastic for the price point, the Canon software that comes with it lets you control the camera tethered as well as teach you what the functions do as you get instant feedback when changing the settings. So even as a novice it's easy to use, looks great, takes fantastic pictures/video then when you're ready, you can get very deep into it and creative.
Seriously why do I need a P.E. class? Why do I need to take certain art classes? I believe this was done to make a more rounded person but it has failed IMO. If I can take a test and pass a statistics final then why on Earth do I need to sit in a class room for a semester? So the school can make money.
If we revised some of these items getting an education would be faster and focused on what is really required in the World, math, reading and comprehension, and critical thinking.
Most of us aren't out to be artist or musicians and if we were college would be the last place I would go for that knowledge.
"They" (Big Content) want to turn the computer into the Television, where they control every aspect of what you do, see and hear.
The thing is it wouldn't be much of a war because all people have to do is stop consuming their content and they go away, but people just can't seem to do that, one other thing, why is every challenge in America labeled a "War" the war on piracy, the war on poverty, the war on drugs, etc.
It's pretty clear that the primary threat the Think Tanks envision is not shoe wearing, scrotum burning terrorist but rather the US population and what's likely to happen when it becomes obvious to every unemployed dolt that we are in a serious depression, that the chance of a multiple massive riots/race war/civil war starting is high and the sheer volume of military weaponry owned by the average citizen makes it a certainty that it will be bloody, very bloody. From the nut job militias, (Idaho, Utah and elsewhere) massive illegal immigration, record gun sales and ammunition sales, to the fact that the membership of the 18th street gang in L.A. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/18th_Street_Gang) is more than twice that of the police force, and that's just one gang, it's become clear that we are in serious trouble and it won't take much to set off the powder keg.
I hope I'm wrong about this and it's really just some large corporate contract raping the wallets of the American people again but things are looking grim.
He asked for it literally "Your spamming me you’re not on a mailing list you idiot ! You sent me an email remember . Make sure you stir up a lot of controversy about us the more the better we needed some drama gets good blood flow going about the new product launch . Your sites amateur at best my son could put together a better site than yours and you run PAX ?? Wow , Ill put my marketing team on a smear campaign of you and your site and your emails , I have about 125 dedicated people to run PR , Blogs , Articles , Videos you have no clue who I am . Thanks again
I can’t wait for the Penny Arcade smear campaign! "
He "couldn't wait" and he wanted some "drama" well he got it and now he is trying to placate the Internet mob that's arse raping him while simultaneously keeping his ego intact. He deserves everything he gets.
"Some have speculated that he might be trying to wrestle control of the Guarani Aquifer, one of the largest underground water reserves, from the Paraguayans."
You're the wise one, spending time with loved ones and tasting life is far more important than a career or making a ton of money, for those of you that doubt this, picture yourself on your death bed looking back over your life... what do you want to see?
They knew, the only thing Israel does better than tech and weapons is espionage and money is king before any nation or flag, the only other thing that comes to mind is what little "surprises" are hidden in the gear waiting to be used against Iran so that in effect, this oops moment is plausible deniability.
Unless it's a locked down device because too many distractions exist on a standard platform, however the real measure of how effective this sort of teaching is is how the students fair later on down the education road and how they compete in the work place against the rest of the World.

I thought that was the next big thing.
As big as Ubuntu is getting can they be trusted any more?
Most people are not fit nor do they have good eating habits at any age much less their 40's, to much fat, sugar and salt will lead to an earlier decline, so someone that exercises regularly and eats fruits, vegetables, healthy fats and no sugar are going to have far less decline than the average American.

You too can be the "fly on the wall" watching and listening through a tiny video camera and mic attached to the fly.

Maybe malware would be a better word, I think this year I'll stop replying to my own post too.
Almost the entire Internet is a trojan.

POTUS has pretty good Intel on likely future scenarios, in a dry World what's more valuable than oil? Water.
IMO the answer to all the World's problems is human population reduction.
