Not just the porn !

This author (http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/personal_tech/article1874668.ece) claims that by allowing anyone to post whatever they want on the net, we're effectively destroying our culture, science AND economy !

Another article from the same author (http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/006/714fjczq.asp) links the current development of the internet to Marxism.

So, does he perhaps have a point is he just another fear monger trying to sell a book ?

FINALLY a chance to get rid of the idiotic potato-eating norwegian culture! (I could have said more colourful things, but I don't know how to translate it...)

If this is true, I'll be the happiest man in the world in some years.

He's also written another article, mostly critizing someone else's book. (http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/011/966iqiqj.asp?pg=1)

And an article on how the internet is making commericals worse. (http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/013/230desmc.asp)

It's actually a magazine with a print edition.

However, he is/was an internet entrepeneur. My guess, not a very successful one.

Or maybe currywurry is right and his lady love caught him browsing 4chan or something...
