Poisoning the flow of information so that nobody knows anything is much, much easier - especially if you happen to control the outlets. Controlling the flow of information to get everyone in agreement is difficult and may be impossible.

The signal:noise ratio on the Information Internet is collapsing. Far from being a problem, this is a benefit. The lies are inconsistent and many are mutually contradictory. There are human liars but there will be many more algorithmic and AI liars. So it will go on the Information Internet. Anyone who does manage to point out a lie will himself be accused of spreading disinformation and kicked out. Nobody who depends on it knows the truth about anything, and there are no dissenters left to point out the lies. The press is flooded with lie after lie from all outlets. Virtually everything in the press is a lie, either in fact or in framing. Disinformation will finish off what's left as the censorship regime stabilizes.ĭisinformation is a finely-tuned system already in the legacy media. This is where disinformation comes into play. Beyond censorship, killing the Information Internet also requires drowning out that which cannot be silenced. It will always be a leaky process and all the algorithmic censorship and AI-based auto-silencers in the world will never fully snuff it out. Silencing dissent doesn't remove dissent, and silencing all dissenters is difficult. It's harder, but it can be and is being done.īut censorship is not enough. Even if you do make your own site, it is vulnerable to censorship thanks to the infrastructure conglomerates. The norm is now that you post what you want on one or more of the sites with vast audiences - that is, on one of the social networks. Individual blogs like this one are an echo of the past, a relic. It's difficult to censor a lot of small sites, but it's fairly easy to kick dissidents off of a few huge sites. The migration of most individual sites and voices into the vast social networks have given tremendous power to censors. The Information Internet is being crushed under the weight of two phenomena: censorship and disinformation. This internet is being killed off and the process is accelerating.

It is through this internet that you get news, find out about political candidates, read up on the latest scientific discoveries, learn how to repair your car, etc. The other part is what could be called the Information Internet. It's through this internet that companies manage supply chains, transportation, payroll and business functions. It is through this internet that you connect your Zoom calls, engage in eCommerce, check your bank account balance, buy an airplane ticket, etc. One part could be considered the Industrial/Commercial internet. These parts are not in conflict and there is no difference in operation. The internet is effectively in two parts.
