Very well done. What I can’t help but think as I watch it is just how much ‘we’ – both criminals and governments alike – use the *threat* of availability of information to coerce – “It’s all in the database” is the same use of power as anyone else using the collection of knowledge to make someone do something using fear.

Here’s hoping that’s not a continuing trend.

How strange that the BBC and the rest of the traditional mass media don’t report this side of the argument.

No wonder we’re fed daily with scare stories about the “dangers of the web”; how nothing from non-government sources can be trusted; …and how our PCs can be infected by visiting non-government web-sites.

Fortunately, judging by the Queen’s recent visit, Google (and hence Youtube) seems to have gained the Royal seal of approval.

I can still see it from Anarchy HQ. Are you working in Hong Kong at he moment? Or trying to access it from inside the Home Office firewall?
Anyone else having problems?
