The internet is the only thing keeping us free, as it is the last unbiased source of information. Although that too is at risk of being violated by corporate greed. People in general are scared of the internet, as it is about 80% of it can't even be reached through a normal browser but only through a Tor browser. This is called the deep web, and its OK if you haven't heard of it, most haven't. Its mostly only good for illegal gun trade or downloading pirated movies, but what's really important about this is its not controlled. No one has any grasp on this, simply because its far too difficult to track anyone on the deep web due to masked IP addresses and whatnot. Websites like Facebook however and Twitter aren't exactly free. Everything you do and say is monitored and watched closely. As it is, our freedom of speech has been abolished in the united states as hard as it is to hear. Protesters can be striked by police, beaten, arrested, and even killed. They usually make no impact. What does make an impact? A massive, worldwide communications system that is the internet, that can exchange information more quickly than ever before in history. So if you want to value any kind of freedom of press, just remember that the internet is all you have left, because I garuntee you that every news station you click on will be biased, and agenda driven either through politics, money, or both.
