Brits need chutzpah to copy Israeli cyberspies' tech creche – ex-spooks

Re: hmm

It's not the same, the Israeli's deliberately target civilians so it can't be called collateral damage...

Arab States make play for greater government control of the internet

Re: Hmmmm

"Maybe if Arab States (et al) ran their countries in a more open and fair manner they wouldn't need to control the Internet."

I'd argue that a lot of 'Arab States' are far more up front and 'honest' in the way they control their populations that the west. We get controlled via the media tied to corporate interests whereas authoritarian regimes tend to exert control via more in your face methods. Just different ways of achieving the same goal. Not sure which i'd prefer tbh, at least I'd know who the enemy was if I lived under an authoritarian regime.
