Why are governments becoming so very concerned with the world wide web?.?

In what context are you referring to...?

Wendel has it right on this one. Governments hate the exchange of information between citizens, which so often exposes some of the dirty tricks, corruption, lies, and the suppression practised by governments and the ruling elite. Most of all they hate the way that many people are now waking up to just what sick con-tricks the elite have played on people. Most of this exposure and waking-up is thanks to information shared and disseminated via the internet.

Because most so called democratic governments are far from democratic; once they have been (installed) they forget their root promises and sidestep evey which way they can; one way they can do this is to create a GAG TO SMOTHER those voices that speak out using every trick in the book to try and control free speech one such trick is to claim it is in the interest of the nation that certain information is not made available, hiding stuff which they can know of but do not expose to the lower plebs that actually voted for them (Are we are too stupid to be in the know yet our daft MP's are!) okay a lot of stuff must remain secret and meant for officials knowledge only, however a tremendous amount of information is hidden under the phony cloak of the official secrets act which ought to be out there available to all for reasoned assessment; far too much is locked away for 50yrs so that the perpetrators get away scot free and die before their mistakes come to light.

THIS IS WHY THEY WANT CONTROL OF FREE SPEACH. so that the mistakes costly to us yet profitable for them remain under closed wraps until time draws a curtain on them and we remain in ignorance outside of the covers.

If I had a passport I would now be off to Scandinavia to escape arrest.

It is obvious to everyone that a government which has no power to govern an aspect of life must find a way.

The what? Government which is we the people wants to keep us safe from non government attacks.
