Insight, an SBS talk show recently had a debate or discovery under the topic of China’s Boom, freedom of information gathering was mentioned.Although my experience and knowledge of network technology are limited, however, I still came out with an idea of freedom and privileges, namely, the latter can be given or for giving, but the former can not. Somehow, both sides of the argument were using the term freedom to be the measurement, for me, it seems not that easy to define what freedom is.Certainly, people who live in western countries tend to have more opportunities to approach the information they want to, technically, they are allowed, meaning they are privileged users to access data, but not every single pieces, then they may hit the wall (firewall?), also some information is false, even was intended to mislead people, we finally realise how insular and self-contradictory that human knowledge is. So how can we make comment something like you have more freedom than I do? The problem is there is no key holder of freedom but privilege, although it can be defeated.
