Prepare to be Muzzled Due to the "Truth Predictor"

Google’s CEO, and Chairman of the Executive Committee, Eric Schmidt, recently made some comments in Britain, regarding the internet, which, I would wager big, will act as a catalyst for government control of the internet.

Imagine being able to check instantly whether or not statements made by politicians were correct. That is the sort of service Google Inc. boss Eric Schmidt believes the Internet will offer within five years.

Politicians have yet to appreciate the impact of the online world, which will also affect the outcome of elections, Schmidt said in an interview with the Financial Times published on Wednesday.

He predicted that “truth predictor” software would, within five years, “hold politicians to account.” People would be able to use programs to check seemingly factual statements against historical data to see to see if they were correct.

Republicans and Democrats alike will join hands across the aisles to prevent this from coming to fruition.
