Information-41.
The arrest of the free flow of information
means the enslavement of the world to the interests
of those who profit from information's scarcity,
the vectoral class. The enslavement of information
means the enslavement of its producers to the
interests of its owners. It is the hacker class that
taps the virtuality of information, but it is the
vectoralist class that owns and controls the means
of production of information on an industrial
scale. Privatising culture, education and
communication as commodified content, distorts
and deforms its free development, and prevents
the very concept of its freedom from its own
free development. While information remains
subordinated to ownership, it is not possible for
its producers to freely calculate their interests,
or to discover what the true freedom of information
might potentially produce in the world.
