In this day and age we, as a global community, are growing at a super fast rate and communication is a vital tool that aids us in defeating the distance barrier.

The Internet has started to change

Now the global community has a source of information that brings to them the views from all over the world concerning almost any topic. This makes it harder for governments to use propaganda and to influence the minds of its countries citizens. It makes it almost impossible to shape public perception into what the government wants it to be.

The Internet acts as an ideal forum for free speech. It allows ideas and structures of cultures to be challenged and compared by everyone, by arming people with information that allows them to challenge ideas fed to them by their surrounding physical society. It has created a cyber-society that has possibly represented democracy more than any other social structure. But this ideal cyber-world of democracy would collapse in a moment if any party had the power to censor the information contained within its pages.
