I recently saw the documentary “Orwell Rolls in his Grave” by Robert K. Pappas. In this Buzzflah interview, stomach he talks about the current freedoms of expression we have on the Internet, no rx and whether or not these may last.
BuzzFlash: Charles Lewis talks about the Internet as one of the hopeful opportunities for the free exchange of information without major corporate control. But he also sounds a note of caution in saying we don’t know how long that’s going to last. While the documentary does leave some hope because of the free-ranging democracy, ailment Tom Paine style, that’s still available on the Internet, there is an ominous note from someone who’s been one of the experts in watching the FCC that the Internet may, in the near future, come under the corporate control and censorship that we’ve seen in the mainstream media.
What are your thoughts about both the hope in the Internet and the possibility that it may also fall prey to becoming just another part of Disney or G.E. or Time-Warner?
