The control of media by government and by giant business conglomerates goes back into the late 19th Century when a conspiracy of wealthy men bought up newspapers and magazines to limit the editorial output of the free press. The radio industry was regulated well before WW2 under both Republican and Democrat "progressives" even though radio frequency spectrum is highly divisible and very little evidence of 'colliding' broadcasts existed. Radio broadcast licences and, in the UK radio receiver licences, exist to restrict and control "free" speech. The broadcast licence acts make this clear if you read them. Television was regulated from its invention. And now the Canadian government agency that regulates broadcasts is determined to eliminate free speech on the Internet.
It's too bad. Some of us worked very hard on anonymous remailers and teaching encryption tech and you don't use it so you don't care. We built the tools for free speech on the Internet and a trivial number of people work to defend freedom or even learn the technologies we built. Your neighbours seem eager to be enslaved and they make me sick. Disgust is not a strong enough word.
One of the groups trying to get the word out about communications privacy is the Electronic Frontier Foundation. I am not encouraged to suppose it would do any good, because so few people want to be responsible for their own freedom, but here is a page of theirs that has some meaningful suggestions on the topic.
Long ago, in 1991, I was made aware by the violent actions of ruthless men that Texas was not a part of a free country. Nothing has gotten better since then except that the people of 27 states have declared for the right to keep and bear arms without licences. It's not much on which to hang much hope, though, so I don't. Your neighbours are not interested in freedom or their pay cheques wouldn't be robbed on payday by withholding taxes.
There are going to be more bloody parts of the communist/fascist usurpation that has been going on for 140 years in this country and which was started in Europe in the 1740s by the scoundrels who paid Rousseau to write his lies. And the American rebels won't be immune to mass arrests and mass executions.
The good news is, there is a just God who rules the affairs of mankind. God loves us and wants us to be free. It is God who gave us free will. So those who are seeking freedom should seek first the kingdom of God. Amen.
It's a mighty fine concern you express. As I said, the thoughts offered by Paul are related. If you wish to alert him to the errors in his thinking you can reach him at his website linked from the article. Of course, he might not choose to reach back. I myself don't mind reading things written by people with whom I disagree. Many sources of information are useful in forming opinions. Even yours. 🤪
