John Perry Barlow reads "A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace," written in '96. Barlow saw the future. His words ring truer than ever, especially coming off these past 2-3 years of blatant censorship. Let this be a reminder that what we do matters. Freedom technology matters.
As Barlow states in one excerpt:
"Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. You have neither solicited nor received ours. We did not invite you. You do not know us, nor do you know our world. Cyberspace does not lie within your borders. Do not think that you can build it, as though it were a public construction project. You cannot. It is an act of nature and it grows itself through our collective actions."
