But this is not the case. I am sincerely puzzled to read this by you. When did we have communication not subject to control by any central authority? Usenet?
And we’re still operating — since 1947 — under a national security regime that has practically unaccountable “agencies” that are definitively in the “information” business.
We have yet to see what unfettered communication, operating in a political environment where NO agency operates in the dark and is above the law.
