Ldf-news.com opposes this latest terrorist law by the U.S. congress, as an attack against the world of freedom. This only proves that if passed, then the big internet companies, should pull their businesses out of the US and restrict all benefits to the U.S. citizens and U.S. regime. However, that having been said, what all governments should do is pass laws that require anyone operating a news media, to take full responsibility and make a good faith effort to verify the content of their news. They must have an address and a phone number on their website and where they are located, or operate from, for jurisdiction purposes. Blogs and forums must be held liable for allowing false or any infamous web postings attacking businesses and people. Thus having mandatory positive identification of all postings attacking businesses and people, which makes the posting subject to criminal liability and prevents criminals from using extortion via the internet. Companies that create such ads or people who create such lies and fraud, and extortion against others can be brought to justice. And when the person or company that attacks webposting targeted must be removed when the company or person disputes the information.

The internet should not be above the civil protection afforded to global citizens, nor should the internet be used, encourage criminals and vile people to do any act of information deemed harmful. A court of law is where disputes needs to be settled, not lies posted on the internet. But all information companies must create a filtering software to prevent such attack ads by enemies or competition to harm business or personal reputations without proof.

PIPA/SOPA should not be allowed to pass and our readers are encouraged to contact the White House, Congress and Senate in the US and oppose these repressive laws from being passsed, but encourage Congress to pass the truth and fraud of information act against forum and blogs and even private sites that are nothing more than hate info/lies and competitors using false posting to harm competition.

The U.S. State Department, along with the FBI and other international authorities, have led a crackdown on popular website Megaupload file-sharing, which has been closed, and against several of its leaders, who have been arrested and charged in Virginia (U.S.)  of conspiracy to commit a crime and violation of intellectual property.

A day after Wikipedia, Google, Yahoo, Facebook and other Internet companies join in a protest against U.S. anti-piracy law, at least 18 lawmakers have left the draft law regulating online exchange of information media reports.

George Orwell - 1984

 

1984 es una de las obras más importantes de la ciencia-ficción, y clave dentro del subgénero de la ficción distópica. Su titulo es debido al año en el que está ambientada. Y aunque pueda parecer extraño, es una novela futurista ya que fue escrita a finales de los 40.
 
Ambientada en la Inglaterra de este hipotético 1984, en una sociedad absolutista-comunista, dirigida por el todopoderoso Gran Hermano. El lider del Partido, que todo lo ve. Literalmente. De hecho, el nombre del famosos reality show está cogido de esta novela. En las calles, e incluso en las casas de cada persona hay “telepantallas” que controlan cada movimiento. Y el mínimo indicio de actividad extraña supondría una visita de la Policia del Pensamiento… Incluso las noticias del pasado se modifican para que encajen con  la realidad del presente.
 
En este contexto vive Winston Smith, una persona que tiene vagos recuerdos de tiempos mejores, y que siente que algo no encaja. Algo no funciona como debería en esa sociedad, en la que todos adoran ciegamente al Partido. 
 
Orwell crea en este libro un ambiente extraordinariamente opresivo, al que se le añade un realismo que te hace pensar que esta sociedad podría existir realmente. Quizás por esto mucha gente se niega a encuadrar el libro en el genero de la ciencia-ficción. En cualquier caso, una lectura obligada, tanto por lo entretenido de la novela, como por las profundas reflexiones que pueden realizarse una vez concluída.
