The European Union is being lobbied into passing the so-called "Telecoms
Package" directives, which essentially would give all European ISPs full
powers to choose what they offer their clients from the internet (in other
words, to offer their clients only what they pay for, and completely block
and hide everything else).

  Never mind the questions about basic human rights, what really baffles
my mind is that these directives are being promoted as *increasing* the
amount of choices people will have.

  I can't even begin to comprehend the Orwellian madness behind this logic.
Something which causes effect X is promoted as causing the exact opposite
of X. Limiting people's choice about what they can retrieve from the internet
is promoted as *increasing* people's choice about what they can retrieve
from the internet.

  And it's not like this would be the first thing ever that has been
promoted with its exact opposite.
