The pirate bay is making an effort to put the whole of the internet into a cloud based system that cannot be touched, or censored...the internet was developed into what it is today; mostly by hackers...the Antivirus company Norton, started out as a blackhat software cracking company...Norton Nibbles away baby.

Major corporations are late to the game; they will never know more than those that created it. They would have to engineer the whole thing from the ground up, then expect people to use that protocol instead. If Gates wanted to he could collapse whole governments and countries with an automatic update. Windows was just a graphic shell on top of DOS commands until a few years ago...it's not that special. It just made computers more friendly; to those that froze up and feared; seeing a black screen with a prompt and a flashing cursor.

Of course; ever since people figured out money could be made; and uncontrolled propaganda free information be passed all over the world...governments and corporations have been trying to control it for fear of losing control...and they only true way to do that; is eliminate those that can undermine those efforts to stifle it. Social media like Facebook; are nothing but huge data collection devices on citizens...they are coupled up with Instagram and recently bought Face.com just so they can do facial recognition...with their Big Brother camera networks and can track each citizen down to the minute of everyday.

You know arrests that have been occurring through social media? This is going to become the norm there was a movie in 2002 called minority report: In a future where a special police unit is able to arrest murderers before they commit their crimes, an officer from that unit is himself accused of a future murder.

Sounds like what has been happening yes? You bet. How about the technology in The Dark Knight? When Batman uses Fox's cell phone sonar technology to create a computer system that can spy on the whole city in order to find the Joker, Fox says that he will help just this once, but will resign due to the ethical issues of using a system that spies on 30 million people...that's small time; considering Facebook currently has of 1 Billion.

Psychology news has stated if you don't use social media; you have a disorder of some type...so make sure you sign grandma up before they carry her away in a straight jacket.

So are there dark and ominous forces at work? You betcha...all hail the new profit: George Orwell.
