From Monopoly to Control

Newspapers are a great business, except under govt-issued monopolies like we have in USA. With the internet, the powers that be can know what you are reading and what you think, and say.

We criticize China for requiring that software be written to allow the government to control the internet, when we have already had such control in USA for over a decade.

Meanwhile, back in USA, the govt has deleted antennae-reception TV, and replaced it with digital, so now they are able to know what you are watching as well. Why was this change so important? Who knows?

As usual, the poor are hit hardest.
