Pesky internet hard to control says Kerry

Pesky  internet hard to control says Kerry.

This little thing called the Internet … makes it much harder to govern.” said Secretary of State John Kerry.  He spoke  to State Department personnel at the U.S. Embasy in Brasilia, Brazil.  

Ever since the end of the Cold War, forces have been unleashed that were tamped down for centuries by dictators. And,  that was complicated further by this little thing called the internet. And complicated by  the ability of people everywhere to communicate instantaneously and to have more information coming at them in one day than most people can process in months or a year….  It makes it much harder to govern … and that is complicated by a rise of sectarianism and religious extremism that is prepared to employ violent means to impose on other people a way of thinking and a way of living that is completely contrary to everything the United States of America has ever stood for.
