Denying information coming from opposition groups underscores the government’s growing fear of varied political undertones. It’s also insenstive to the reality that different people receive this kind of information differently. It’s not fair game if we consider how certain political notions are relative. If government’s goal upon imposing this is to prevent more ideological or political variation (those aside pro-government) in people who are deemed malleable for such upon access, then they’re killing a part of what’s healthy about our current political scene: a thinking and a well-informed civil society.

It just brings to question whether or not the government should have the power to decide which bodies of thought are valid or not. Especially in the realm of the information superhighway we all know as the internet. When you think about it, this extension of an “all-out-war” undermines the very purpose of the internet.
