What people really want is to tune in to information.
Searching content in a time stream is a matter of stream algebra, which is easier than the algebra of space-based structures like today's web... The simple, practical features of stream algebra have one huge benefit: giving us made-to-order information.
Worldstreams thus let us blend and tune our information any way we like...
Does this sort of precise control limit the serendipitous nature of the web? In a way, yes. But it’s about time: “Bring me what I want” is almost always more useful than “Let me rummage around and see what I can find.” No matter how fast it seems, most search is a waste of time.

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.

This year's findings indicate that restrictions on internet freedom in many countries have continued to grow, though the methods of control are slowly evolving, becoming more sophisticated and less visible. Brutal attacks against bloggers, politically motivated surveillance, proactive manipulation of web content, and restrictive laws regulating speech online are among the diverse threats to internet freedom emerging over the past two years. Nevertheless, several notable victories have also occurred as a result of greater activism by civil society, technology companies, and independent courts, illustrating that efforts to advance internet freedom can yield results.link
