Does free information mean free people? At the start of the
twenty-first century we were promised that the internet would
liberate the world. We could come together as never before, and
from Iran''s ''twitter revolution'' to Facebook ''activism'',
technological innovation would spread democracy to oppressed
peoples everywhere. We couldn''t have been more wrong. In "The Net
Delusion" Evgeny Morozov destroys this myth, arguing that ''internet
freedom'' is an illusion, and that technology has failed to help
protect people''s rights. Not only that - in many cases the internet
is actually helping authoritarian regimes. From China to Russia to
Iran, oppressive governments are using cyberspace to stifle
dissent: planting clandestine propaganda, employing sophisticated
digital censorship and using online surveillance. We are all being
manipulated in more subtle ways too - becoming pacified by the net,
instead of truly engaging. This book is a wake-up call. It shows us
how our misplaced faith in cyber-utopia means the West risks
missing the real challenges. Morozov argues that we must look at
other ways of promoting democracy abroad, and forces us -
policymakers and citizens alike - to recognize that all our
freedoms are at stake.
