下面是一段摘录的文字,中国还是有头脑清醒的人啊,是国家的大幸. ================================================================ 很多人把主权与言论自由混淆起来。这是不对的。 言论自由这个讨论的框架是对内的，是在一个社会框架内，对内而言的。但是，如果一个社会，想要影响另外一个社会。最好的办法就是控制其舆论。 狗狗的搜索的第一页，就等于主流媒体的头页。现在很多人关于很多事情的看法的形成，就是在这些搜索中得到的信息形成的。如果谁对我说第一页的影响与第十页的影响是一样的，那他是在放个很响的屁。狗狗的规则就是决定谁在第一页谁在第十页。 类似狗狗之类的，CEO与美国国务卿吃饭然后利用其商业服务来侵蚀别国主权空间，其商业产品已经成为国际政治工具的，这是明显是影响另外一个社会的工具。 中国不会把主流媒体编辑责任交给外国，就像美国人民不会同意把主流媒体编辑责任交给外国一样。 中国言论自由当然可以讨论，必须讨论。但是这决不是狗狗的责任。这点要搞清楚。如果狗狗很自负的认为这是他的责任，那他就大错特错了。如果有人妄想狗狗这么做是对中国有正面意义的。这也是大错特错了。 以前有一个国际法教授／律师对我说过：人权最大的保障，在于主权。人权与主权，不是相对的。
