After seeing how the web (a
British invention pioneered in North America), I've realize how crucial the web
has been to the process and development of the evolution of Free Speech in
America. In nearly every country BUT America, the social and political hierarchy
reigns and persists to this day. Political figures, and people in "Supreme
Authority" Kings and Prime Ministers, are freely allowed to speak out
("Within Reason" and as long as its not politically contrary), but
the voice of the common people is forced into submissive silence, often by
violence and brutal deadly torture and force, as has been seen in the Arab
Spring as it was happening. A celebrity like myself, wouldn't even manage to
survive or exist in the Middle East and other places especially. America is the
one of few countries, if not the only country, where a chaste system doesn't
exist, freedom of speech is test every or almost every day, and censorship AND
dictatorship is constantly attacked, questioned, exposed, and scrutinized.
The internet brings democracy to
places and fields of study and authority that severely need it, and it allows
us to challenge those we perceive as having too much power and authority. No
matter WHO they may be or how powerful and deadly they are, in almost ANY country.
It also allows us to fight
censorship and state censorship when the occasion calls for it.
