Isolating someone from outside information is the first step in brainwashing.

Great. Now we’re going to have thousands of Brazilians come across the border to log in to our hotspots.

Too bad that so many people are reliant on social media sites.

How did human kind ever survive, thrive and progress with out the internet and social media sites?

What's the point?Read the article again.
To: blueplum
A world without X wouldn’t be a tragedy, but allowing Brazil’s criminal government to continue certainly is.
To: MinorityRepublican
"Read the article again."
Why should I read the article again when all it talks about is how lost people feel because they can't specifically access X. If they were more resourceful, they wouldn't have to rely on social media sites for their news and entertainment.

From the beginning of mankind, “authority” has tried to control information flow, and has not been successful.
Recall that in 1520, Pope Leo X decreed that Martin Luther SHALL NOT teach the Ninety-Fives Theses.
How’d that all work out?

So what’s your point? My point is that people today are shallow, and needy.

I added Snowflake as an add-on. it’s for people who are being censored and can’t get on some sites. Thousands of volunteers have added it.
