Have a national internet with imported information from the global internet that meets the criteria for acceptance.

I could see Facebook being an NSA project more than CIA. Facebook is just a way to get people to make private information available to everyone.

They have hackers at the NSA, they didn't need Zuckerburg.

Why waste the money paying people to dig when you can get a hundred million idiots to give you every detail of their lives?

You have just changed my views on the internet.

That is, all information promoting "traditional values!" and "foreigners are evil", etc.
No national internet! One Internet for the world is needed so that we may one day have peace...or a better world at all.

Well, good point. I only use Google Plus, anyway. Heck, they'll just know I'm an apathetic libertarian socialist who's posting on NS.

No.

No no no. It was a experiment by the Soviets! Now Putin is pretending it was the CIA >:(

No, it is not a CIA project. The Internet does many great things. Putin just doesn't like it because he has a hard time shutting down people who criticize him.

Or shutting down his own computer.

Or be like me, and just be obnoxiously blatant with your suspicious behaviors.

Ahh, the troubling thing is, i've found a load of 'underage' websites on there.

EDIT: By 'underage' i mean child porn.

(Not that i've looked at it)

Then that means one in seven of the people on this forum are CIA agents.

i didn't know what to make of this story when it first broke. it's easy to call putin crazy, but when i put the last 15 years in context, i see it more as a typical overreaction from a government that's persuaded itself a worldwide conspiracy exists to undermine the russian federation.

there's a good reuters piece that explains what i mean. enough foreign policy screwups from two administrations in a row can make this kind of stuff seem reasonable

I think we all suffer from some kind of paranoia...
