Information Control in the Digital Age: The Journey From Internet Piracy to Full Spectrum TyrannyJoe Wright As this video reveals, both forms of oppression have very little to with the stated protections which they claim to offer, and much more to do with a concern over the free-flow of information itself. As this journey continues, we are faced with a familiar position taken by those who seekcontrol; one that is perfectly revealed by Brian Boeting of the FBIs Cyber Investigative Task Force: Any type of activity online can be considered a security threat; because, as we said, the technology can be used for both good and for bad, and any type of activity we see even that smaller and less exciting type of criminal activity can be used as a bridge or a tool by anyone to facilitate some type of greater cyber attack. This paranoid mentality of potential threat is the mantra of every security-surveillance state that has ever existed. It is one which has now been applied to the real world as well, and the Internet is the perfect place to ensure that the entire apparatus goes global. If and when these two worlds of cyber and real are permitted to fully meet; where not only is ones existence as a human being capable of daily activity and thought assumed to be part of the threatscape, but also every thought and action in the cyberworld a reason for full extrajudicial scrutiny and punishment, we will be living under the greatest totalitarian prison systemthat the world has ever known. Until then, activism must increase across the spectrum if we are to retain any of which has previously led us to the concept of a free and prosperous society.
