No More Free Enterprise HW: 14

According to Ito the internet will soon be similar to cable television in the since that everything will be censored. Thus it will not be the free market that it is today. As a result of government involvement the internet could eventually run under a Microsoft system. In short this system will ask you if you still want to enter the site even though it is authorized by Microsoft. Consequently if you enter the site your Microsoft warranty will be terminated. Ultimately the entire population will be under similar forums f not by Microsoft then by other companies. Although the internet will be censored blogs will still be going strong, naturally the content in the blogs will be censored but legitimate cites will still be able to communicate to the public. In other words the freedom of speech can not be taken from the mouths of the people who are quote on quote “legit”.
