Response - "Are governments closing the net around web freedom?" By Alex Hudson


This article gave insight in to the general idea of what was happening in Egypt and how it relates to the current arguments about internet censorship. Hudson gave his own opinion on the subject, while adding in the ideas of other significant members of society. I felt that the subject itself was an interesting one and it touched on ideas that I had little knowledge of. After reading the article, I am more aware of the arguments regarding internet restriction and I find it shocking how imperative the internet has become to modern day life. I think that it is unacceptable for the government to restrict use of the internet. The web was created as an unlimited device for research and communication. Blocking certain sections of the web violates the basic rights of freedom of speech and education.
