Ch. 3 The New Digital Age

This chapter focused more on the internet and how everything revolves around it. How different countries censor or filter content so those under their service provider can be controlled. To me this doesn't seem right as the Internet isn't being used to its full potential when you censor different parts of the country so they are enclosed in their own digital world. The whole idea of massive collaboration is to have all willing contributors contributing content, which isn't possible from those in a censoring area such as they do in China. Even though there are ways around these censorship walls, it still hurts the chances of full cooperation and collaboration between users online. This chapter focuses more on the future of our digital age and I hope it involves less censorship from dictator like countries to allow any and all collaboration when possible no matter what part of the world you live in.

  1. I agree, but at the same time where does the line between censorship, privacy, freedom of speech, where do they all cross?
