The problem with all of this is that these allegedly private organisations are no longer acting neutral. We have the government compelling Mark Zuckerberg onto the senate floor to be grilled over Facebook's data use, does that sound like a private company to you? We've crossed the line that separates government from private entities.
It's clear that Facebook, Google and other companies that admittedly have reach and some influence are being controlled by the U.S government, in a sneaky indirect way.
Well said. And I love your Steemit avatar/logo!
Cheers @libertyacademy there are only a handful of people in history who have possessed the ability of foresight to see government for what it truly is and what it would eventually become (well beyond just surveillance). Orwell is perhaps best known as the author of 1984, but he was an incredible visionary who published many essays, one of my favourites is Politics and The English Language.
Thank you my friend! I have just printed it and very much look forward to reading it. Cheers.
and it looks like you've got some really interesting articles on your Steemit blog; so I am now following you and look forward to reading them.
Yup, I think they are, but it's all covert influence to pressure things.
To be fair "registration" grants government ownership over corporations and corporations are realistically legal entities the government created and owns. (This is also applied to people in a way that strips us of our Natural Rights.)
...Might explain why governments and corporations are so much in each other's pockets. Not to mention - The governments are corporations as well.
