summary
Argues a concrete thesis: regulation and content creation clash so agencies panic over digital files that reach unintended audiences. Cites a deleted tweet from the State Department about a detained Chinese blogger, a mock award called the Foleys for embarrassing government media, DHS’s misguided mad‑lib for kids, a quiet Second Life embassy that solves little, Library of Congress Flickr comments split between praise and conspiracy, wrongful copyright notices on public‑domain docs, and worries about orphaned government domains and Web 2.0 user agreements.
