a certain way and will always do so. Like a foam rubber cushion, no matter how much you twist it, it will return to its original shape once you let go. With the Internet the underlying structure will not only return to the original shape, it also actively fights certain types of twisting - and all by design.

Seems to be the way....but perhaps the plovers of freedom will outsmart and outflank such efforts by creating a parallel world...

Same people who bleat and decry chinese and Iranian censorship of waht they deem to be acceptable content.
