27.04.2012: The Internet is distinctive because it allows private individuals to directly communicate with each other, and also expands the ability of the media to communicate in many different forms. No longer is there such a clear distinction between newspapers, radio, and television. In some respects, all three media have similar elements (e.g., even newspapers have websites and offer video and other media more associated with radio or television). However, both public and private sources are threatening Internet freedom. Governmental restrictions come in various forms, including the Stop Online Piracy Act, and various attempts to limit or control the Internet. Private restrictions come in the form of user agreements and other attempts to limit Internet content. This forum will examine the threats to Internet freedom that flow from these private and public sources.
