it's not a problem you can get around unless you know about these things though
like an average user of the internet would know nothing about the deep web
I wouldn't underestimate the power of mouth to mouth communication
I suppose so
Going totalitarian on the entire internet will be a terrible mistake for the ones trying it.
They're the ones who will suffer for it.
yeah, but a generation that was born into that sort of thing wouldn't realize that it's not normal
I've never credited the people who try to do this with any abundence of intellectual capacity.
but I doubt anyone would suddenly forget what a free internet was like or not talk about it
SJWs don't seem to get that their attempts to censor people is what's killing their movement.
The point is, even if someone did try something, it wouldn't work out for them.
Censorship is a self-defeating action and those who do it are always too stubborn and stupid to understand that.
maybe they'll just peter out from in fighting eventually to see who has the most oppression points
The internet is the most people-empowering thing that exists in this world.
It's impossible to control.
you can control someone's access to it though
or access to parts of it
unless they learn of a workaround from an outside source
Its power to affect society is why people try to control it. They, rightly, see it as a threat to their power.
I don't think people are so unresourceful to not find it.
but do people have access to google?
or government regulated search engines
You think google will accept its users becoming unable to access it?
well if a government blocks access, as I'm sure they do and have done then what is google gonna do?
How about Islamic countries banning all criticism on Islam...
The internet user is google's life blood. They can't just let them go.
they don't let them go, they never get them
Governments already block access to sites regardless of whether or not the US controls the DNS registry
I know, but it could be done across the board in this case
not just in a localized area or country
I don't know, all the logistics involved seem incredibly impractical.
it does seem impractical, but if they make small changes over time then whose to say they couldn't acomplish such a thing?
You know who notices small changes?
Our Google, who art in cyberspace,
Hallowed be thy domain.
Thy search to come,
Thy results be done,
On 127.0.0.1 as it is in the Googleplex.
Give us this day our daily searches,
And forgive us our spam,
As we forgive those who spam against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from Microsoft.
For thine is the search engine,
And the power,
And the glory,
Forever and ever.
Amen.
especially with google jigsaw and the censor ship of "hateful" language
Regular people who use the internet. XD
google isn't hallowed, they're cucked too
kinda sucks, but meh
Seriously people on the internet are ridiculously observant.
I know m8, but this is all just hypothetical
