This is unbelievable.

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

This is unbelievable.

You can smell the BS a mile away, also the people that made this never read 1984 seeing as they label their controlling entity "Ministry of Truth."

Now what was it those guys did in the book again?

It says below the video that it's satire. It shows just how ridiculous internet control and censorship can be and it's aimed primarily as a criticism at a campaign in the EU to implement such a system. I think the "Ministry of Truth" reference was entirely intentional.

I love the bit at the end where the speaker talks about controlling the internet in order to preserve our democracies the way China, Iran, and North Korea have all while showing massive prison walls and guard towers rising around the borders of those countries.

I realized it was satire when they said they were going to block "freedom of speech" among other things :lol:
