ARTICLE: Iran to filter "immoral" mobile messages, Reuters, Apr 28, 2007 ET
Some focus on friction (censoring), but I focus on growing force (connectivity via phones among young to extent that elite are scared enough to act).
You know damn well what young people pass around. My 15-year-old daughter played me her latest downloads today on the way to Mass. Plenty forgiveness sought, by me at least.
The cellphone is to the Gap what the automobile was to the US post-WWII: the great enabler of youth-culture emergence--and the destroyer of morals (mais oui!).
Remember Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) the mathematician in "Jurassic Park": "Life finds a way."
Bet on the social blowback that follows, but lay down the serious lodge on the innate human need to connect.
Thanks to Nick G for sending this.
