Big Brother Is Watching You! The Party is now manipulating the Internet. Part II

June 13, 2008 By: M.Awara Category: Social Marketing

As many of us know that the Big Brother (BB) in Orwell’s novel is just a symbol, which has been embodied by the party to make the public feel that they are always monitored and they must not to try to think of the party’s injustice rules or even try to protest. The controversial part here is that these rules were for the public and "only" the public! No member of the party followed these rules or even being asked to follow them, simply because they are a part of the party and have the authority and the ultimate power.

How could this be? This can’t be accepted by any reasonable mind at all.

The same case is here in the online society as well, and therefore, we are supposed to be asked a very important question that;

Does being old in the online world really means that you have made it all, and that you can’t be treated like any other marketer who is still doing his best to have his business listed in the map of the online business, in other words "You are a part of the party"?

Simple example that can prove the ultimate authority and power of the popular sites is the "Original Source" theory; let’s go into some details:

Social networks or any community websites that allow posting topics from other sites always have a rule that "all the posts submitted should refer to the Original Source of the stories and it is not allowed to post any stories from intermediate websites".

That is totally acceptable rule and me myself really appreciate, as it guarantee the protection of Intellectual Property. BUT it will be totally unfair to have this rule applied for some websites and ignored for others; applied for those who still building their business and try to introduce something valuable to the web community, and ignored for those who consider themselves the kings of the web, no matter what they are presenting, or whether it is useful or not.

Any post that is submitted from an old, highly ranked, and popular website is always accepted, even if they are not the original sources. And any post that is submitted from a newborn, still not ranked, and creative website is always rejected, even if they refer to some original sources in their stories. Have you ever asked yourself why? I think you should know!

The answer is simple; "The Party is manipulating the Internet, and they have the ultimate power to control the web".

Now you must have noticed that the Internet Society discards an important feature, which is "Neutrality", as if that being old and popular, means you have a green light to do anything (what ever you want to do), and you are excluded from the list of those who should obey the rules of the online community. Again "You are a part of the party".
