April 10, 2019 - Is the dream of one global Internet still alive?

Increasingly, moves by governments to filter and restrict content are threatening to fragment the system created with the promise of connecting the world with a largely unified body of content.

For years, China has walled off some Western services, and the fragmentation may be accelerating with regulations being imposed elsewhere.

This is leading to a "splinternet," a term circulated for a decade or more but gaining more traction in recent months.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - April 8, 2019 - There’s a small light at the end of the online censorship tunnel, as a prominent Republican member of Congress has decided to take action in support of Internet free speech by pushing for social media giant Twitter, a major free speech offender, to undergo an official third-party audit.

HANGZHOU, China (PNN) - April 1, 2019 - Alibaba has created the hotel of the future and it’s wild, wonderful, and just a little creepy. FlyZoo, which is reportedly a Chinese pun for “must stay,” is a 290-room ultra-modern boutique hotel in Hangzhou, China, that lets guests play with technology, check in with ease, and spend the night in the future for a low price of around $205 - and at the cost of your privacy.

DENVER, Colorado (PNN) - March 31, 2019 - Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams disagrees so much with a gun bill making its way through the Colorado legislature that he's willing to go to jail rather than enforce it.

"It's a matter of doing what's right," he said.

He's not the only one who feels so strongly.

The controversial "red flag" bill aims to seize guns temporarily from people who are deemed to be a threat to themselves or others.

WASHINGTON (PNN) - March 25, 2019 - There is a simple, powerful way that President Donald Trump can end Big Tech’s evil censorship with a single signature. It requires no act of Congress, no regulatory action, and no criminal prosecution.

March 25, 2019 - There are millions of people - a majority in many places - who believe in a liberty philosophy. That the Golden Rule is the right way for humans to interact, that centralization is a problem, that leaving markets alone is better than rigging them, and so on. But there is a problem: Rather than pushing forward into action, most of these well-intentioned people limp along in uncertainty.

PARIS, France (PNN) - March 21, 2019 - If the black smoke over the Paris skyline and charred cars and buildings along the Champs-Elysees that have become characteristic of France’s increasingly violent Yellow Vest protests over the past months weren’t alarming enough, things look to get much worse as the government prepares to escalate.

March 21, 2019 - One of the striking things about Amerika’s recent political environment has been the increasingly warm embrace of socialism, particularly by younger generations. At the same time, as the title of a recent New York Post editorial put it, Socialism’s millennial fans don’t even know what it is. The text makes the point more strongly: “Millenials - ignorant of socialism’s appalling economic and human-rights history - increasingly embrace socialism and its naively unrealistic prescriptions.”

JEFFERSON CITY, Missouri (PNN) - March 19, 2019 - Missouri may have just made the most monumental step towards freedom and individual liberty since the signing of the Bill of Rights. In an upcoming vote by Missouri’s state senate, the state is expected to pass a bill that would nullify all federal gun laws and regulations, and make enforcement of those laws by federal officers within the State of Missouri a criminal offense. Republicans control both Fascist Police States of Amerika Senate seats and more than two-thirds of the seats in both the Missouri House and Senate.
