It’s sounds a stupid statement but in fact it’s not that straight forward. You see if I put a valuable snippet of information on Facebook, or a video I want everyone to see on Youtube not everyone will have access to it. There’s a variety of reasons, of course one of the main ones is just plain old censorship. Many countries routinely get in a strop about social networking sites and video sharing ones like Youtube. Sometimes justifiably but most of the time not.
Turkey for instance keeps blocking Youtube for all sorts of reasons, Richard Dawkins website is blocked because he said a book on Creationism was a load of rubbish. Rather concerning for such a secular country to be taking such action. But it doesn’t stop there, try and access some brilliant media sites like Hulu, BBC Iplayer or RTE player and if you’re in the wrong country – you can forget it. Global information network – it could be but it’s not heading that way !
