Countries like China, Iran and now Turkey are just slightly ahead of the curve of what will come toward us. While the progressive part of the Turkish population looks for help and support from the "Western civilization", the "Western civilization" struggles with internet censorship and privacy themselves. The sense of superiority of this western society is really strange: when disapproving and rejecting this kind of developments in the Middle East, they pretend that is intolerable and they cite the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. But in the meantime, they themselves trivialize their own actions and policies regarding censorship and privacy breach that is getting worse. Public opinion is just as schizophrenic. Such news is read with pity and denigration, without any realization that their own future is maybe not much better. But hey, we are just much better and things like this will never happen here!
