~censorship in the internet~

  • the world wide web has always been a useful medium for those who wish to present or access information anonymously.
  • the success of the internet lies in its inherent democracy but this allows a voice for those in society who we usually censor.
  • there is no universal form of censorship in the internet and there is never likely to be.
  • attempts to censor information on the world wide web through software have had, thus far, only limited success.
