Propoganda, influence the mass and pillory, the power of internet is just beginning to accelerate. What to do? Try to stop it? Try to regulate it? Try anything against the internet?

NO WAY !

Two things what can be done:

1. Try to make internet users more aware of the process ongoing (instead of talking about the content). Not everything is true what is written. Encourage people to think for themselves. Establish a generic set of values and way to interact with the internet and it's content.

2. Use the internet for ad 1. It's there, just grab it.
