Some Ways To Avoid State Scrutiny Of Information Sharing!

We live in a global environment that sometimes could be very limiting in terms of what gets published globally. The Internet or Web has brought us some latitude in terms of how much, or to whom such information could be freely shared. But does not prevent Internet Service Providers from co-operating with certain governments to prevent or inhibit the FREE sharing of information, with whomever a client wants to share with.

So that is when the Internet user has to create or resort to other devious means to get information out to the world that is deemed necessary, or warrants public viewing, scrutiny, or knowledge. So I have come up with the following suggestions that may help those of us who are so inhibited or prevented from sharing information outside of our Regional, State, or ISP parameters.

* Establish a network of e-mail friends of like minds, interests, and concerns.

* Ask them to assist you in FORWARDING e-mail or information to other e-mail users in the network, so that VITAL news or information could be sent to those areas or regions, that are kept out, or blacked out of the allowable parameters.

* Choose reliable, credible, and dependable friends or network buddies to join you in this venture, whenever it becomes necessary for such information to reach the world wide web en-masse.

* You can also Copy & Paste the original e-mail from the sender, to a Word Document, and publish the same document in another e-mail, without the address of the original sender.

* And put a note at the top of the e-mail that says: "The original sender/source of this document is credible and reliable. But the identity of that source had to be removed, for personal safety and security."

Finally, if you do not strive to maintain the freedom of expression that the Internet or Web espouses in it's genesis. Then we will become victims of the same local, national, and state controlled media outlets that we have become accustomed listening to, or watching. The same state controlled, censored, and partisan journalism that inhibits free speech, free thoughts, and freedom of expression.
