But then what happens? Potentially very important issues,
indeed probably the most important ones since they are
likely to be some of the most "scary", disappear out of the
scope of open discussion. Instead these issues get worked
through in private behind closed doors and off the record.
Do we really want our collective future to be decided this way?
Like we have any say in the matter???
Our future is already decided behind closed doors.
Or maybe you don't understand how politics works?
From another angle, I also from time to time try to remind people that
everything posted on the internet is recorded for future analysis,
when required by the inquisition.
Of course this is not denying your right to free speech. In fact
'they' welcome that right. The more you say, the better from their
POV.
As Keith pointed out, the people reviewing the report that the search
engine data miners produce will be the common man, using all their
prejudices and mistaken beliefs.
They will have the power to decide, not us.
Just something to bear in mind.
