Censorship and the Future of the Internet

Howdy, friends! I was able to get the video done nice and early after all. This one is about the limits of the first amendment, corporate control of the internet, and what a future non-corporate online world could look like. I hope you enjoy!

Censorship and the Future of the Internet

An idea for a new video: how would "lobbying" and "special interest groups" be viewed by laws in other first world countries? Wouldn't it be deemed to be bribery or a conflict of interest, for example?

It's not just Youtube, it's also Google in general. I've always consumed online contents in all 3 languages I know (English, French, and Chinese), and used to be able to stay with Google as my default search engine and easily find things to read. Within the last year Google started not showing a lot (but not all) of the Chinese search results. Security services like OpenDNS would also block some (again not all) Chinese website hostnames from even resolving to IP address.

I’ve been getting really concerned with how quickly we’ve seemed to go straight into ‘It Can’t Happen Here’ territory. Great work!!

You speak pretty clearly so the auto machine captions are usually ok, as far as I can tell. I'm hard of hearing too so the captions are a big help, especially when my tinnitus flares up. My husband and I always look forward to seeing your videos when they drop, and I've started downloading them too. The CIA video debacle has shown me that may be necessary.

Definitely! It’s a shame YouTube scrapped the community captions, that’s how all my previous videos were done.

Would you be open to the idea of captions for videos? My hearing’s not great but I looooooove your videos.
