The web blog, Grand Strategy: The View From Oregon, has a post on the future of the Internet.
It’s a very good post, thoughtful and reasoned. Here’s a quote. I recommend you read all of it.
James Pilant
The fight for WikiLeaks to make documents public in the Western democracies and the fight for activists like Ai Weiwei and Liu Xiaobo to speak out publicly in China are intimately related. One cannot avoid noticing that these struggles are taking place in the two largest economies in the world at present. Today, these are the fights worth fighting. This is the good fight. It is not a fight of nation-state against nation-state, nor class against class, but of individuals against institutions that seek to regiment the life of the individual for the convenience of those institutions and those who control and benefit from the institutions.
