The InterGossip is
a Content Cop
Number
Six: I have a choice?
Number
Two: Of course. You can do as you want.
Number
Six: As long as it's what you want.
Number
Two: As long as it is what the majority wants.
-The Prisoner
The
InterGossip is a content cop holding up her hand
Half in my face, half-way to a
Fascist salute
Forbidding me to read or study
any further
Without pledging loyalty to a
community
The InterGossip is a content
cop holding up her hand
If I want to keep reading, I
must subscribe
The cost is access to my
information…information…information
“You have read five of five
free stories this month”
Which is their way of saying, “Your
papers, comrade”
The InterGossip is a content
cop holding up her hand
And if sometimes my words
violate the standards
Of communities I never joined –
white space
The InterGossip is a content
cop holding up her hand
