5 0

In early October, as they reached the Humboldt River in central Nevada, supplies were perilously low, animals were dying, days were hot and tempers short. While driving his wagon up a steep, sandy slope, the young teamster John Snyder began to beat his oxen with a whip handle. Reed intervened, and Snyder's frustration turned on him. With the butt of his whip he slashed Reed's forehead. Reed drew a knife, in self-defense. Snyder struck again, and Reed stabbed him in the chest. Within half an hour the young man was dead. Feelings against Reed ran so strong, some wanted to hang him. But others spoke out in his behalf. A compromise was struck, and he was banished.

laila [671]

No, i do not think it's a good idea.
If the president could control the flow of information in the internet, He basically can promote only the sites that are suitable to his Agenda and demoting the ones that don't.
This situation is very similar to a Tyrannical Government that forced its people into only thinking a certain way.
