You know, a few short years back when I was doing my Media Studies MA I took a module on the Internet and other new media. Our professor had some grim predictions about the future of the web: the Net no longer being free, censorship, big corporations taking over pretty much every aspect. While I understood it on an intellectual level at the time, it was all very abstract. The reality of it is only now starting to sink in.
And citizens of the Internet assembling to protest? Yeah, I'm not holding my breath on this one.
