The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Another panel illustrating Tobi's thoughts. This time, we have a 1990s style computer geek typing intensely at his keyboard while he glares into his monitor. We can see some tables and shelving behind him full of partially-assembled hardware and technical manuals. And a girlie poster.

Tobi (OP): Most people don't remember the old Internet was once a fresh new frontier of liberated communications.

Panel 2
Looking of the shoulder of a 20-something urban woman at her laptop computer, which happens to be sitting on a table. On the computer screen is the main page for Leakipedia, an actual whistle-blower website. Get in close enough to the laptop that we can clearly see the web page on it. (Go ahead and do a screen grab of their site, then copy into the page. They'll appreciate the publicity.)

Tobi: (OP) For a while, anyone could be a broadcaster, and new encryption technologies also made possible private and anonymous messages.

Panel 3
The same nerd, now 20 years older, hands cuffed behind him doing a Perp Walk in a phalanx of uniformed cops.

Tobi: Governments can't stand people either broadcasting freely or having private communications, so they eventually found ways to bridle the Internet and reign those 'pirates' in.
