Personally I'm just feeling angry and ill, about this, today. For me it gets my goat in a lot of ways. I suppose I shouldn't admit that in presence of the internet.<div><br></div><div>1) I can't imagine that political detention in China or any related client is at all pleasant.</div>
<div>2) I find it difficult to think about an information world where Google-realpolitik can become a noble entity.</div><div>3) I'll go ahead and call my mindset on these issues Trevor Paglen-sympathetic, and thus, most things feel like lip service.<div>
