Evangelion the internet is localised now - there are many sites you cant get from country to country. Any even if you do they wont alowe you full access eg bbc iplayer in USA.
Yes I know, but it's obvious that we can get access to different countries' everyday
news media, so the argument is defunct by default.
Haaretz, the New York Times, Pakistani media, Malaysian media, Pravda... I can browse all this stuff and more.
We have only the sites that the UK want us to see.
No, that's not true.
It's not about the UK banning us from accessing certain material; it's about
other countries preventing access to certain material (usually copyrighted stuff). Sure, you can't get access to certain BBC media from other countries. That's because the BBC blocks you. It's not because your own country won't let you. It's about media licensing legislation.
To try to use this as proof that there's some sort of devilish global media blackout, is just plain silly. You can't extrapolate (z) from (a).
Had this convo recently with some ozzies - they said they could not access Oz stuff on the internet they could get at home in the UK.
I know. I'm an Aussie. You can't access iPlayer from Australia, for example.
Even googling showed 0 results.
Now
that sounds like ******** to me. Not being available on a localised website is one thing; not being able to find it with Google is quite another. At the most, you'd find that it turns up as a link in Google, but when you click on the link you'll be taken to a company page which says that the material isn't available in your country.
So to someone like you Evangelion if it does not exsist in wiki or google it then does not exsist?
No, that's not what I'm saying.
