Technical ideas to end ALL blog CENSORSHIP since Greek politicians over-moderate their blog-critics 23/09/2007

Mr. Venizelos, a famous overweight Greek politician who looks a little like the deceased comedian Benny Hill, also the most likely successor of Mr. George Papandreou as the new leader of “PASOK” (opposition party) was accused of extreme lack of… moderation today, while exercising his rights to… moderate (Blog Comments), when -eventually- a radical Greek blogger (“De-Masame-Re”) framed Mr. Venizelos’s blog with 2 comments (and different aliases); one that praised him and one that criticised him (respectfully, with *no* insults), in order to prove that the second one would be censored!

  • Well, YES! (you guessed it) it WAS censored! (or… wasn’t it?)

  • So, the protester reported evidence that his 2nd comment (of respectful criticism) was censored by the politician, in his blog.

  • HOWEVER, some time after the censorship was reported (if I understand the story correctly), it appears that the (so-called) “censored comment” was published, after all.

  • Then, the protester quickly inferred that this act of generosity towards him was deliberate, due to (the politician’s) fear of bad publicity, after the (initial) act of censorship was reported. (Aha… “Causality Inversion”, apparently. Click HERE to read about a Real Institute investigating such PARADOXES ; quite fascinating!) :)
  • Mr. Venizelos’s friends (and others) subsequently replied that “not-so-friendly-but-respectful” comments need MORE TIME for approval (requiring personal attention from the politician himself) since they are impossible for mere… secretaries to handle!
  • Nobody at the moment seems to know (for sure, 100%) WHAT actually happened; except… ONE thing:
  • According to Murphy‘s Law, if a filthy, hideous Act of Censorship CAN happen, it… WILL happen! :)

  • Wow! :) The emerging new modern Greek Vice of deleting (even) respectful comments, abusing the ‘Right to Moderate’, is evidently worsening, most probably on the verge of a national epidemic (possibly a Global one, too -needless to say- …hehe)

  • Well, -believe it or not- all this generated in my mind certain simple (technical) creative ideas, to implement the END of ALL CENSORSHIP in blogs (and all public net-discussions in general).

More about this will appear, here, in the near future:. -Technical Solutions to END all abuse of Moderation and ALL censorship. once and for all! (small hint: Google already does this, anyway! -to some extent)!

What we need, basically, is this: (περισσότερα…)
