What are the Internet rights in your nation?

Postby Folder Land » Sun Aug 21, 2011 2:54 am

In the Kingdom of Folder Land, we have are own "Great firewall". Their is only one internet company allowed and that is about 90% government and 10% private enterprise. All porn is banned, only one e-mail serive is allowed and that is owned by the government, We have our own version of Netflix. Only PC's are allowed becasue that is what the King likes.

What are the rights on the use of the Internet in your nation?

I am shocked, appalled and sickened by the ludicrous ratio of government:private websites in your nation. 90% government regulated is preposterous.


In Machiavellionia, the government owns all the internet.

This. Although some ISPs censor things on their own for various reasons.

For us there is multiple providers. Anyone can make a firewall and many operators and anti-virus programs suppply them. The government does not control the internet, though it does subserdise basic connection for poorer households. Porn is lawfully allowed and very prevalent on the internet, however some households, private schools and workplaces have parental locks and theres support for programs to block sites considered mature. However, this isn't too popular in Schwabenreich due to its population being less conservative in comparison to some. A lax policy on violence, mature language, sexual content on TV has led many to not only be de-sensitized but to not at all be offended by such content finding its way to children. Schwabenreich, like your nation has its own version of Netflix, however this is not in protest of Netflix, only a matter of a program gaining a monopoly on the internet rental service before the population ever heard of Netflix. People can have any computer they can afford as far as the government is concerned.

The same in Dagnia. Competition in the Internet market is cutthroat and there are no restrictions on the businesses or the content in any way.

:o WHY!

-Internet is almost completely out of government jurisdiction
-There are some laws and government supervisions mostly over the topic of child pornography illegal dealings and other things in that category
-Many different privatized email and internet provider companies
-Movies and music can be downloaded freely online from government sites, its going to happen any way we might as well control it, but there are some catches to it, you still have to pay for it but the price is reduced drastically, musicians can decide that their music cannot be downloaded online but they lose a great opportunity to cater to a larger clientele
-We have mac, pc, and linux, we also have many other electronics companies but the two largest computer producers are
1. EP (A Rustik computer software, hard ware and electronics maker)
2. PC
3. Mac
-No censorship over the internet (unless its illegal of course), this includes things over television, were ranked pretty highly in our region for most swearing on media outlets

The Interweb is rare in New Amerik, thanks to its origins in Japan and only recent arrival of a few networks in the Holy Technocracy. Those lucky enough to have access to the Interweb will find it near useless unless they speak one of the languages of the United Associates of Japan, and the other nations of the world are concerned with setting up their own corners. As such, the Amerikan government IS the only Interweb provider in the Holy Technocracy, and is very interested in ensuring nation wide anti-virus and otherwise protection.

We take 89% of everyone's income in our nation. The internet is one of the fastest in the world becasue most of the websites on the internet are blocked or semi-blocked.

Everyone is allowed to use the internet and censorship will give you prison time
Kalaspia-Shimarata's flag represents the Union between K&S. The dark blue represents the sea and the light blue represents the sky. In Kalashi language considers light blue and dark blue to be different colours. England colonised, and unified K&S, between 1774 and 1953, and English, light blue and dark blue are considered to be the same colour. Therefore, the contrast between dark blue and light blue represents the union, but the differences between K&S where as blue being two but simultaneously one colour represents K&S being two, but simultaniously one entity. The opposite to the symmetry represents the unity and indipendance of K&S, whilst also representing the Kalashi culture of opposite symmetry.KS is 75% Christian, hence the cross.

Censorship is unconstitutional in Voerdeland, and thus porn, hate speech, and Bomb Building for Dummies are allowed. The government however has the right to shut down websites used for fraud and scams.

There is absolutely NO right to "free speech" in the Internet.

All subversive websites, displays of "porn", and all other illegal material are banned in our nation since our Internet system is very strict and must abide the ways of the Supreme Leader and our nation.

Anyone caught accessing to these banned websites and/or hacking will face serious punishments such as 40 lashes or a life sentence in prison.

For the record, the activities of the so-called "Wikileaks" and "Anonymous" constitute a serious offense that leads to the death penalty.

TurtleShroom banned the Internet and replaced it with their own system. It's called the SHADY, and is a text-based system compatible with the real Internet.

Thanks to this, we don't have to deal with pesky civil rights issues like banning websites or fighting illegal porn. Nah, we just make the technology so that they can't view it even if they wanted to!

See, the Internet in TurtleShroom has its original utilitarian purpose in mind. We don't use the Internet for leisure, we use it for why it was used in the 1970s and 1980s: for sharing and communication, file distribution, and networking computers to each other to store and obtain information.

SHADY is solely for file and information sharing. It is an ad-hoc item, pretty much like a gigantic Lime Wire. Also, it's much faster to load! On what was 56kbs dialup Internet cables, SHADY goes well over 50mbs on the exact same infrastructure.


Besides, we never had a need for the Internet. Only 22% of the population had Internet access, while 69% had a computer! The Internet was a waste of money to maintain. The infrastructure was simply copper wire strung on existing telephone cables, creating a frequently crashing and painfully slow 56kbs dial-up system. Who needs it?
