well after all that drama, tasneem was released around 24 hours of his arrest…thank goodness! questions still remain unanswered and clearly it was a close shave..will the next journalist/critic of power be so lucky? the whole issue of media censorship can”t be ignored and the big thing of course is about military taking over power. there is good coverage on this …please check out Mash and Rezwan.. and I will update with links to other bloggers covering this very important topic.
is a good way of putting it. so now my hand”s been bitten, my custom”s going somewhere else. Bye Bye Google Bye Bye..
oh yeah and i daresay if anyone has any bright ideas re: protests outside google”s offices in London - this is where they are:
Belgrave House
76 Buckingham Palace Road
Just think -for argument”s sake - if anything happened and somehow those poor offices end up being defaced - ah well, i suppose we”d never find out would we? they won”t be able to get “justice” - why? well who”s going to bear witness to it? ….;-) see no evil, hear no evil..
Google is to launch a censored version of its search engine for China. what a bunch of bloody hypocrites.
google are cunts. yes i’ve decided. do you think we could have a version of the ‘london underground are cunts’ song for them? i reckon we might be able to rustle up some support.
not happy with their existing ‘almost monopoly’ ooh no they want more more more - and the biggest audience of them all: china. so now they decide - hey let’s join forces and be a bunch of censors why not. Gotta be in bed with the authoritarians don’t we if we want their business.. 100 million eyeballs..ooh the heart beats pitter pat. Greedy fuckers. Let’s be straight about this: they would in effect become a vehicle of censorship, a vehicle of repression.
More on this when i’ve had a chance to think straight and calm down.
In the meantime, for a bit of sardonic humour on this - take a look at The Robert Swipe Show..
