Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt foresees more troublesome days ahead between the search engine giant and the governments of the world. Censorship is on the rise around the globe, he said Monday, at a Dublin summit on militant violence. It will step up considerably in the wake of the “Arab Spring” of 2011, Schmidt warned, which resulted in the overthrow of governments in Tunisia and Egypt. The revolts were fueled to a large extent by the widespread use of social media.
I would love for the government to knock on my door and question me about something I posted on the internet. The day that I can't voice my opinion about anything and as long as I am not inciting violence will be the day that I will arm my family and join those who believe that it is the duty of the people to over throw a government when it does not serve the people. Remember a governments job is to protect the people from the government. We are not granted rights, we are born with them and our bill of rights protects those rights not grant them.
