October 06-2007: The Internet & Web MUST Be Protected From Capitalist Monopolization! Today there is a rapidly growing
movement of Internet Capitalists who are bent of making the Internet another bastion for accruing insatiable profits, while trying to disguise their intention with slogans like Free Internet, Free Media, and Freedom to spread the Internet access everywhere without interference. Yes, these vultures are using the Internet aggressively to do advertising, promote conservative religious views that serve some of their patronizers and communities, and support political candidates that cater to their own partisan
interests. The traditional E-mail accounts are being phased out. YouTube, once the outlet for youth and college students to make friends, share experiences with friends, exchange ideas, interests, and photos. Is now taken over by another Media Monster bent of accruing much more profits from this popular web site, and ever growing community. So What Can We The
Consumers Do To Stem The Spread & Takeover Of Our Cyberspace? * We could petition our political representatives to legislate for the prevention of monopoly, or conglomeration of the Internet and web, by any government, or private enterprise. * As consumers, we MUST petition for continual vigilance by those responsible for the regulation of Internet business, usage, and safety. To ensure that such moves or takeovers does not happen. * We the consumers MUST also ensure that the Internet & the Web be accessible to all regions, states, and nations globally. And that the provision of technology, expertise, and know how, be made available to any country, state, or region that needs this kind of assistance for providing Internet Services to their populations. And finally, that the Internet be protected from Government's interference, curtailment, prevention from accessing, and censorship, GLOBALLY! Derryck S. Griffith. Educator-Advocate & Blogger.
