New Media problematic

Posted by on August 21, 2008 4 Comments

The more problematic part is how do we, in the process of opening up, come up with some ways of reducing, minimising, if not cut it off completely, this abuse of this technology.

    wow, amazing! the same kind of logic as “raise gst to help the poor”.

    a parallel leaps to mind: free speech and assembly are allowed in sg, subject to authorities’ approval.

    this abuse of this technology referring to spreading of mis-information or hate messages.

    Using Obama’s example, he has this web-site to tell his side of the story to counter the online attack, knowing full well it is useless and not acceptable trying to shut down the attackers.

    The only way forward is to be transparent, informative, and ask the public to check the facts before coming to conclusion. Anything short of this, we will be back to square one.

    Take a look.

    Anyone realizes the implication of this?
    Think carefully.
