Corporations Part 2

My brother and I saw the video together, and had a heated conversation during dinner on the possibilities of web 2.0. We can only rescue our lifestyle by bringing back the power to the people, since the governments today are too controlled by corporations. My brother argued that the web could not hold the power to change the world, while I stated that it could. He claimed that gathering information was far too difficult with the sheer mass numbers of information sources on the web, and that the influential beings on the internet would be bribed or threatened by corporations, to stop transmitting the controversial news about them. This is exactly what happend to Fox, with the investigation documentary being pulled. My brother claimed that the same thing will happen to the "mass media of the internet". I fought back to this, stating that each person should be information savvy, and that they should not always trust what is on the internet. Everyone has their biases, they all are posting information and news on the internet with their own unique view. One thing that my history teacher at high-school mentioned was to create a web of intellectuals that have similar biases as you do. It starts off with finding an intellectual (such as professors, commentators, authors) who has a similar way of thinking. The people he has connections with, must also be people with similar views. By connecting such people, one can create a web of intellectuals with a close way of thinking. In such manners, a normal person can harvest information through the web. This method has become astonishingly easy to do with the introduction of web 2.0 (disambiguation). 

Another answer in controlling corporations may lie in Sole Proprietorships and Partnerships. These two styles of businesses may impose unlimited liability to shareholders. If the shareholders became more concerned about social responsibility as much as they do about profit, corporations will not be diagnosed as a psychopath.
