Webmasters and the Control of Destiny
Having a server or having access to one empowers webmasters to project their
own ideas, world-views and values to the entire world. People or groups
lacking access to a server have no voice within the emerging cyber-community.
Their attitudes and values are not expressed. The anarchy of the Web
makes it difficult to discern the relative merits of available information.
Where information is scant, web users are likely to accept whatever they can
find, regardless of quality or bias. There are many instances where the
only source of online information about third world countries comes from
elsewhere. The
United States
Central Intelligence Agency is one of the biggest
suppliers.
