===Media control=== | |||
When WCG took over, asymmetric warfare and terrorism went up - until the "Media Neutrality Act" and the "Regional Enhancing Act" slowly showed their effects. | |||
From WCG's strategical point of view terror incidences got far too much media attention. It didn't matter of what nature those incidences were: economical, political, national or religious. Because it is the media that terrorists need to effectively spread fear for their actual goals. The WCG begun to limit screen time in media about terrorism - with the import notion not to suppress such news completely. They compared the media coverage about annual road deaths with death numbers of terrorism to legitimize the new laws. | |||
After the latest global hyper-crisis WCG had formulated their "Regional Enhancing Act" to build up "weaker" regions and bring a more general sense of unity. By various parties alike [...] it was superficial coined as "Capitalism to the rescue - peace by economical wealth". | |||
The "Media Neutrality Act" remained a Damocles sword. Less media coverage made terror unattractive for violent-ready individuals and groups but also hampered people's readiness to accept new instruments for police forces. That was until the Syndicate and technological threats became the new visible problems. | |||
To improve their anti-terror strategy WCG announced [[Restless_Souls/Technology#Project_Checkerboard|Project Checkerboard]] in 2050. | |||
