Exactly. I am Polish and I have no desire to go back to a totalitarian regime, media control or censorship.
I think people from the former Soviet group are more attuned to abuses of power and attempts at censorship or rights abuse. As an example, I know my detectors went off full-scale when I saw the media coverage of the last Iraqi war on US television. Tightly cropped shots, showing only soldiers and their equipment -> obvious manipulation. And yet few other people around me noticed this.
- jacquesm 15y agoSpot on. The former sov-block states and satellites are much more vigilant than the rest of Europe, to the point that they are now the European conscience when it comes to privacy. The attitude in most of the other countries is one where people can't seem to give away their hard won right to privacy fast enough. Dziekuje Bardzo to you. & Multumesc to gp.
