see julie's comment but to paraphrase she wonders how foreigners can help when they can not even help themselves. Even worse she says is the government having control over the media so getting the message out is dificult and dangerous. We do have the power of the internet which in its pure state is free, open and of course world-wide. I have seen how the Castro regime controls the web in Cuba and now we have chavez in Venezuela trying to control the web. If any of these cycberhackers, info-terrorist, datastrippers, or whatever theyyou call yourselves have real balls they would open up cyberspce in China, cuba, Venezuela, and any other repressive regime trying to quash the free flow of information. We need info-patriots as a new breed of fighter opening up virtual borders in countries that base thier power on lies, greed, and repression.
Not wanting to stray from answering Julie, however I can not resist to acknowledge the flag bearers leading the way to help these regimes achieve censorship. Talk about an aximoron. The companies dedicated to bringing light speed switched information to your finger tips on a moments request - Cisco, Google, Microsoft all helping China and others suppress the very thing that has made their stock soar - the free flow of information be it data, video, music, picture.
Well, julie if any of these cyber hunters decide to hep in Venezuela maybe you can get the story out of the country so the world can witness the destruction of democracy by a power hungry, angry man. Will the rest of the world just sit back and let it happen? Probably.
In a global world we have global stickiness. The impact of one decision in one culture simultaneously has a different impact on another culture instantly.
