So.
Mega Upload is gone.
This is kinda worrying what the government can do to any random website if they even so much as suspect there is 'infringing material' present. But how can they be so certain? They don't have to be, they can do what they want.
These will be an interesting next few months/years, I think we may have to fight for our rights to the internet and not bow into any government pressure. We have to make them realize that people power is the only way to run a democracy, not be the lapdogs to powerful corporations.
Anyway, enough ranting. It's been a hectic few days in cyberspace and I just had to get it off my chest. I feel really passionate about these issues and I can only hope that I pass that onto my readers!
More infographics to come!
I dedicated more time to it myself today. The good news is that everyone IS fighting back. Well, a lot of people are.
ReplyDeleteThis was horrible news. The next years will certainly be interesting and important. Web can become an awful place if this keeps happening!

ReplyDeleteR.I.P, MegaUpload.
ReplyDeleteScary stuff.
ReplyDeleteTerrible move. Megaupload, while having its fair share of problems, did have a large following for legitimate use. At least this will spread awareness to others, though.
