Thats the problem. People with power and/or influence think that the internet is unhealthy place. That is probably because they have heard or think that it is or from knowing someone with that king of behavior. In the end it is simply different ideologies. Those who want a clean internet are probably highly religious. The Chinese however probably think the internet is anarchy and are trying to impose a government on it to some level of understanding. They do what they think is right and we do what we think is right. Problem with the disagreeing west is that they think that what china does is wrong rather its just different ideologies (i'm sure most of you know that). If you look at the humanitarian level its a bad thing.
Though internet actually does provide a breeding ground for really creepy and wierd stuff, most of us are normal and at some point realize those wierd people are wierd. When those normal know someone who is strongly affected by the vileness of the dark parts of the internet they try to do something about it. Thus leading to the dimishing of net freedom for the rest of us. In a way it does make sense what china does, would you rather see violent stuff or happy stuff. For those neutral to the net it doesn't matter but its probably has to do with the high number of net cafes in the eastern region.
Think of it this way, have they told us how to run our net? Probably not, but we have told them. Instead we are doing it to ourselves, the censoring of the net, atleast partially, and those of us who've played enough pc games know what will happen after process starts and doesn't stop; little by little the freedom dissapears.
The net is probably the only place we can express freedom so much, like letting out what you couldn't do in real life. What the chinese are doing with the censoring is overboard imo. They are applying physical penalties to violations of virtual world(net) laws in the country.
Of course its reasonable, its pretty much burned into your brain. , because sharing is good cause thats what you were told when you were little.
why? keeps you busy while mother talks with her friends and dad talks with his buds. Another reason, Instinct? kindness?
So we aren't allowed to be kind? What kind of sick and deranged person would allow this?
Clearly this world is controled by corrupt 'tards which have no regards for anyone else than themselves, or is this the result of a democracy? or capitalism?
too much power ANYWHERE is bad! I can't believe the world has come to this.. sorry, emotional out break there. I along with others don't see the problem with file sharing, we can share gardening tools with neighbors, so why not anything else? Imagine having your tools with some sort of locker which only works with a fingerprint. How ridiculous, annoying, anger creating, and rage that would bring one to their last nerve to strike with lightning and thinder down on the opressor creating that would be!!
You have to face it, you can't trust white people in power! but they make great neighbors and friends! lol

Indeed, we shall ban such patents due to cruel and unusual punishment law!
Seems like research is out of the question to develop better networking technologies but rather using the flip switch to turn off/on things. Remind you of transistors?
