"information" is paramount.
Shall I remind you a term which has become a Cliché "Information is Power".
There are both pros and cons of providing free and unrestricted access to
information, I would not like to debate them here, however I am sure that a
person should look at the culture, environment and creed of people before
providing such sweeping statements as "... control of information leading to
strife...". I am sure that you must be right in all respects when
considering a democratic state but at the same time I am also sure that
Genghis Khan never allowed the freedom of speech.
What I think we should realize is that every empire no matter how solidly
built no matter how honestly governed no matter how much freedom of speech
is allowed, they have to reach a Nadir. Empires spanning thousand years have
reached an end and history is full of such examples, therefore I am sure
that there is no "RIGHT" way to manage information/perception.
Ozair
P.S. Unless I am mistaken, most of the answers I got were of the
military/governmental types with least interest on b2b side. Somehow I feel
that in the case of Information Warfare Corporations would more interested.
