clean feed

i recently wrote a news article for my news and politics class about a d-notice. a d-notice is like a clean feed only more offical. national security can actually ban mainstream media from publishing stories or they can delay them. the government can do this because we are in a state of war (really!). The government should not have this power, as a 1984 novel 'big brother' points out. This new communication technology is a step of advancing knowledge and developing new technologies. Censoring the internet (and the d-notice) will only create a feeling of resentment towards the government and people will put all their efforts into hacking past the censor. This course has taught me the importance and the advantages of new communication technologies and i know that the government should not do this.
