You can't hide from the Internet. Once the info spreads -- it spreads like wild fire. This sort of shit can't be swept under the rug anymore as it used to be done back in the day.
However, it's up to the people to make the final push.
It is spreading, however I do find a lot of people are so conditioned so as to violently reject any but the mainstream edition. But you are correct, it cannot be swept under the rug. This is exactly why TPTB are desperately trying to control the internet.
It's funny that when you wake up you start doing exactly the opposite - violently rejecting the mainstream editions entirely. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me eternally...
hehe, I agree, however I have learnt to sift through the mainstream media and read between the lines, as the saying is. Stuff does slip through. And then of course, you have to be careful that the independent media you think is different, actually is independent. Sigh, I sometimes hate being a grown up.
The Internet is a huge hive mind, and often as the case is (4chan, reddit, etc.) you'll have people online take corrupt governments/companies and put them back into their place. Corruption leaves a lot of trails, it's relatively easy to pick up the crumbs and pin them back to the offender.
Any scuttling of Internet freedoms would lead into a push back from people all around the world ranging into the hundreds of millions if not more. They can try, but in the end they will always fail.
You cannot control the Internet because as far as I'm concerned it's a giant living and breathing entity that far outweighs anything any government can throw its way.

It is not just America, but the world is slowly waking up. :)

"You can't hide from the internet" huh? Time to censor it and do complete surveillance and management of what is on it for the general public.
This seems to be the counter-attack to this occurrence.
