Governments have passed new restrictive laws in 19 states. In Iran, censors have improved software for filtering content and hacked digital certificates. In Pakistan, virtual private networks are banned. And in 14 countries the governments have followed China's lead in hiring armies of commentators to manipulate online discussions, the authors said.
Creepy stuff. The things governments do to control people. If you people here in America who think the media is unbiased, you are naive as hell. It may not be as aggressive as in other countries, but it does happen. There's no way that people who have the opportunity to control other people are going to be able to resist the impulse.
