Losing information freedom.


This week china blocked the NEW YORK TIMES website. The reason was it has reviled the rich life style of the Chinese government officials. Information restriction has become a major issue in current politics. Recently Russia also thinking to develop such a fire wall to restrict some website in WWW. This consideration was taken after statics have shown the fall of fame of Putin in last few years. Also loss of support to the ONE RUSSIA political Party. There was a discussion in parliament to block WIKIPEDIA recently. Under the huge fame of WIKI the blocking couldn’t be carried. There are some of the major websites including FB on the discussion desk. Letter ends with a quote by JFK.
A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
