Abstract

As the power of the Internet and Web increases, the motivation of some governmental and corporate actors to control and limit the Internet and Web becomes stronger. We must ask whether the ability to participate in this empowered, connected society should be considered worthy of protection, and how we can conceptualize this protection. As access to the Internet provides new capabilities that become constitutive of human thought and social life, we conclude that urgent action is needed in promotion and defense of the Internet and the Web.
