hong kong's judges
how bizare. that's a whole lot of white. are they fit to judge? is it time to reform how judges are selected?
Are search engines practicing self censorship?
Recently, there has been an infamous hk judge who's been in the news. He handed out harsh sentences to hk cops who beat a rioter (probably on the payroll of ngo). There's been a lot of talk that the infamous judge, david dufton, when handing out the sentence, was more interested in promoting western interests (in other words inperialism) in the city, than justice. If you are curious about the judge, and wanted to look him up, however, nothing can be found about him. Essentially, the big search engines like bing, or gugle have removed his existance from the web. Are they protecting their guy? If david dufton hasn't done anything wrong, why is he in hiding? And why is bing/m$ facilitating his evasion? Hey, I thought gugle was against censorship, so why be hypocritical? Let's see the guy's family pictures, and life story. The west frequently talks of transparency, so let's start this transparency proces by publicizing who hong kong's judges are, and what their background is. If they can't be up front to the public who they serve, then should they be judges in the first place?
internet spreading information or not
one of the most frustrating things when using the internet is the lack of relevance in search engine results. how many times have you searched for one thing, and the search engine returns something completely different, usually irrelevant and unhelpful? any taiwan watcher will notice the increase in jingoism in taiwan province in recent decades. so i decided to do a search on the topic, and i was not surprised by the dissapointing results. the search engine i used was the corporate backed engine, bing. this search engine is pretty standard, as the results are approved by the american ruling class elite, just as google is. the disturbing thing here is, not a single result relates to subject of taiwan jingoism, thus, illustrating the inefficiency, and incompetence of internet search engines. in addition to serving irrelevant information, search engines often display outdated information. for example, if you wanted to know what the current situation in donbass was, most results are from years ago, and in dynamic situations like that, information from 3 years ago is the same as having no information, and once again, the internet has kept us in the dark. therefore, it would be difficult to rely on the internet for proper information. what we are witnessing here is, the u.s military has taken one step forward by creating the internet, however, search engines have taken us two steps back by providing irrelevant results, whether deliberately, or not. like traditional media, the internet has not helped to enlighten the masses in a significant way.
