Cyberpunk: Internet Freedom, Its Future

messages.sharePost :

This book, which we are reviewing in this article, focuses on the importance of encryption in responding to the shift of the internet from a free and open tool for the flow of systems:

 software, information, and information exchange in various forms and locations, to a means for governments to dominate and large corporations to control. This transformation impedes the freedom of expression and places people's digital communications under surveillance, control, and manipulation, which could create significant barriers to the freedom and democracy of societies.

The author, Julian Assange, the founder of the famous WikiLeaks website and the broadcaster of controversial leaks and secrets that shook the world, along with three human rights activists (from Germany, the US, and France) in the field of communications and digital knowledge, warns of this dangerous shift. He proposes a solution through a compilation of discussions about the internet, the importance of freedom of expression, the nature of government, and other controversial topics. Assange suggests practical, scientific solutions, advocating for digital encryption as one of the most important tools to combat government overreach, which has become like an electronic pirate attacking the free flow of information. His goal is to create an ideal world free from state control and the influence of large corporations, by establishing new platforms that cannot be accessed by surveillance and creating a free space for exchanging ideas and information, free from any authoritative control.
