言論統制 The Controls on Speeches

人々のほとんどは従来一部の権威や力のある者からの情報を一方的に受け取ることしかできませんでした。

Almost all people only had had unilateral access to the information which was provided by a few people who had the authority and the power.

今はインターネットという革命的な技術が世界中で利用可能となり、人類は嘗てないほど便利に情報交換できるようになりました。

Now that the revolutionary technology, the Internet is globally available, people can share their information more conveniently than ever.

然るに、今後も支配者層側は「国家安全保障」、「国家緊急事態」、「自由民主主義」などという見え透いた言い訳をこだわるように繰り返し掲げて国民が交換する情報を恣意的に統制しようと試み続けるでしょう。

However, with their such particular lame excuses as “National Security”, “State Emergency”, and “Liberal Democracy”, those on the side of the Establishment would highly likely repeat their attempts to arbitrarily control the information shared among People.

そのため、主権者たる国民一人一人はインターネット上に氾濫する情報のみならず、支配者層側の政府、学校、主流メディアの機関などが時に広げ伝える詐術的で思考操作的な情報も自ら賢く精査し続ける必要があります。

Therefore, each one of People with whom resides sovereign power ought to critically review not only what a flood of information available on the Internet says but also the often deceptive and manipulative information propagated by those on the side of the Establishment such as the government, school, and mainstream media organizations.
