Summary

The real bandit against internet freedom

Morozov (2015) asserts that though Russia and China restrict internet freedom to maintain their technological sovereignty on their land, it is the U.S that exploits internet freedom to assert its digital sovereignty globally. Not just Russia and China, but other countries like Brazil also take actions to reduce their dependence on American-run communication services. These actions are condemned by the U.S. Crystal reports that the U.S have great interest in information that are serviced by their companies but stored elsewhere. Finally the author concludes that countries are disciplining citizen’s digital properties strictly not just in response to domestic tension, but concerning the growing technological supremacy of the U.S.
