Governments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather.So go the opening lines of the Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace by John Perry Barlow. As we move deeper and further into a hyperconnected world, made viable by the internet instant connectivity and social media platforms that connect individuals from across the globe in a manner never before seen by our society, these words and the concerns expressed in this declaration may be more pertinent today than even when it was written. Today we will look into the state of censorship of the internet across the world, mechanisms that are being put into place to suppress information and guide society's thought, and the future of the internet if we continue down this censored path. Welcome to the thought rebellion.
