Thanks for asking, Olin :)

Well, I have to admit I barely watch any TV recently and moreover (by 
chance but we're going to regional election day soon) I've attended 3 
meetings from different parties in the latest 2 days...

You all know Berlusconi and it's "large" dominion over the media. 
Possibly internet (facebook, youtube) are free zones where different 
thoughts than public (i.e. "his") TVs broadcast. So there's a feeling 
that this trial is meant to make internet "guilty" - as has been tried 
other times.
The message going on the TV (news etc) is that "internet is evil" and is 
just used to play bad jokes upon impaired people and all of this...

So, there seems to be a plot. We'll see. Censorship is what we fear, 
even though it's said "it can't happen".


Of course, my post tends to became a bit "politic" - I'm sorry. But I'm 
not saying that I am fan of this or that political side: I am just 
against the "tycoon" ;-)
