Hey! Hes just a dictator that throwed everyone eho disagreed with him into jail(or killed them).How nice!

How good of him to be aging this well and to conserve such an agile mind for such an elderly brain.

I just cant be happier for him. /sarcasm

I mean, besides general oppression and murder what else did he do?

Ah! Yes! Massive censorship.

How can he praise the same freedom he constantly strangled when he was in charge? Does he find no hipocrisy on it?

Well, even if he has somehow "healthy" internet habits he is still the old fart that causes suffering in the name of a decades ofd revolution.That, while alive in the poeple mind's is the complete opposite of the current situation.

He is the same old fart that, while praising the freedom that the flow of information the internet allows, keeps the citizens from that very same information with tight censorship and throwing anyone that slightly disagrees with his (self delusional) ways to prison.

He is the same old dictator that wilingly keeps his country adn citizens in a state of poverty by strict regulations,that while suposedly intetnded to bring communism, do instead fatten the pockets of a very select few.

So ,honestly, a retired ,(nearly senile?) dictator, who checks on nearly every way of opression you can put your people through, praising the freedom of the net?

Pulling the advertisements I can agree with, maybe even putting the game behind the counter out of sight, but how can you justify making the game completely unavailable to them?

It's not a matter of "trust," it's a matter of respect. Maybe someone who just lost a friend to the Taliban might not really be in the mood for seeing a game where they can re-enact killing their friend.

No one has the right not to be offended.Period.

if you dont like what you see ,look the fuck away, its not everyone else's problem nor their resposibility.

Let me tell you something.

All those freedoms you would consider innapropiate for wikileaks and are held by "real journalism"...what have they got them into?

I dont see newspapers,bradcasted news reports or any other mainstream media ever using that rights for anything but petty things like throwing shit at each other AND spilling propaganda AND OUTRIGHT LIES when they are told to by the hand that feeds them.

At least wikileaks has proven that it could make some use of them.

Mainstream media doesnt need them, they either dont defy the establishment or, use their rights to hide the establishment's hand(in their reportings) from the public.

To me that seems like an obviously wrong use for those rights.

At least, in the Orwellian regime, you could be sure they werent watching *every* telescreen.It was more like not wanting to take the chance, they were looking at you. I predict, that by means of a few years we will be thinking twice about or facial and general bodily explression, fearful that someone somwhere might be laying judgement upon us. On the bright side, we wont really need an all knowing godly watcher to instill fear upon the masses, bye religion!, welcome science!

I agree on what you say about "non-technical" people. However, " if you are dumb enough, you deserve it" IMHO. As time passes and common use technology grows more complex the users need to get more "technical", at least, on general terms. There is no "idiot-proff" technology as long as you let the user be free and use the product in any way he wants,although I'm not advocating for an Apple concept of "walled garden" "non-technical" users should be made aware of their situation,as embarrasingly as possible. I wish those people would get scammed out of the desire of using a computer,if only that didnt empower the people who scam...
