Robots Are Taking Over the Web!

For more information about the campaign to take back the web, visit http://freespeech.org/ourweb To find an alternative, non-commercial media-sharing and social networking site, visit http://community.freespeech.org

This is a truly crucial time for the Internet, the most powerful and interactive medium humans have ever seen. Recent actions by Facebook to monitor activity on the web and share our private information with our personal contacts and marketers, tells us quite clearly that the new media giants cannot be trusted.

too bad "wikiador" is entirely useless becuase it isnt monitored ppl can post what ever they want about something opinions and what not rarely true facts i trust big buiseness becuase i will soon enough be the big buiseness . that is what the world is coming to and that is how i and all the rest that will survive will adapt

wikipedia has been shown to be more accurate than other "professional" encyclopedias. While you give in to a vacuous life of climbing the corporate later, many of us are living a meaningful life while working for social justice. I've done both and I know which is more fun and fulfilling.

Why would Google be portrayed as a bad robot, and mozila a good robot? Doesn't google fund the Mozila project?

.... Wikipedia DOES monitor the changes people make.. Only registered users can edit and they have people make routine checks throughout the site to check for proper and credible sources.

Besides, Wiki pages link to sources that you can check out yourself and use.

Honestly, I don't really care that Google is monitoring my searches, as long as they don't share it with anyone but themselves. (Though of course, I'm using Firefox right now with AdBlock Plus, but that's more because ads are annoying than that ads are evil in some way. A site's got to make money to pay for its domain name.) And I don't use MySpace because I don't like it, not because it's "evil" in some way.

Sweet! And yes, the music from 2:40 till the end is the track "Death of an Equestrian" from my 2007 album :)

[perrin26]

Did you do the music? I did the animation :D

[saviumsaliva]

Loving that you're making people aware of this, and of course the fact that my music starts to play when the Freedom Trons come to the rescue :)

A good reminder that even the owners of this site may be a bit too nosy.
