By far, one of the more insightful posts I’ve ever read by Ethan Zuckerman: “Internet Freedom: Beyond Circumvention”
I recommend by starting with Secretary Clinton’s speech on Internet freedom before moving on to reading Zuckerman’s blog post. Regardless of your political persuasion, this speech is a powerful one that touches on an issue of increasingly profound importance to human rights advocates: the exercise of political rights (and others) through the Internet. This is something we can all get behind, and should. (The speech gave me goosebumps.)
However, Zuckerman takes it one step further and offers a more comprehensive look into censorship and how we can better approach this topic. He offers some keen insight into the pitfalls of censorship circumvention and asks some potent questions we need to ponder before jumping to conclusions.
Excellent post Zuckerman. This will be a scene we need to watch.
