I see. It is a shame perhaps that your parents did not teach you to think for yourself, and that freedom of thought and expression are two of the things that make the UK and US infinitely better places to live than many of the countries of the world.
No doubt you saw the British police as justified in killing Jean Charles de Menezes, or how about the guy killed during the G 20 protest ? They were no doubt troublemakers, not lucky enough to have a 'mom' who taught them the importance of keeping in line which authorities make a mockery of the concepts of liberty and freedom.
People like this Twitter guy are not the enemy. Terrorists and religious nut-jobs are the enemy. I repeat. Ordinary, decent hard-working citizens are not the enemy.
The police were more than 'wrong'. They were an embarassment. Decent people in the UK lose faith in them every time a story like this comes up.
The internet as it is today is a global phenomenon. Chinese censorship and Burmese news filtering are the exception - not the rule- to the technical wonder thats the internet - you think
Like every race - the Asian race have done just as much as anyone to build this infrastructure that we all enjoy.
The point Im making is, on a personal level Im happy to avoid a domain where there will be controls on pr0n, news, music...you think Im being extreme ? READ the news....
The issue I see is if it will effect commerce. How important is.asia going to be as a domain with China and India showing such economic progress.
There is not a single thing wrong with each country having a domain name, but having spent a great deal of my working life working as an engineer on the 'public' internet I am dissapointed to see such a seperatist attitude prevail. We don't need a.asia or a.europe or a.africa. People who came up with these suggestions were told to shut up when the first internet started to find its feet. I see no reason to change that response now.
over the last few months on the British news you'll find at least 2 examples where emails have led to a subsequent resignation.
Im sure that nuclear codes aren't hidden in the signature of an Outlook Express mail...but to say that confidential info doesn't go through email is stretching credibility.
not everyone has the will to create a vpn tunnel every time they wish to communicate.
"...caused the system to crash is unfortunate, but this did not affect operations.."
nice to know my taxes are being well spent on a system that doesn't affect anything if it goes down...
can't wait for George Galloway v U.S. Congress round 2, I wonder if the (new?) email admin at MoD will find an email filter before that little gem hits the net....
hope not...
