Article with which I am mostly in agreement championing the freedom of expression on the internet. The author seems primarily intent on attempting to allay fears about the concentration of corporate internet ownership, arguing that the flow of free expression has continued unrestrained. Well, mostly unrestrained. The article then shifts to a description of the benefits of this free expression, suggesting that while the bypassing of traditional filters (such as professional journalists or academics) may expose people to more bad information, the internet represents the development of a new filtering and assessment system, and moreover, gives us an unprecedented look into our own collective psyche, our own moment in history.
