Ever since SOPA and PIPA blared across the internet early this year, there has been consistent discussions about free speech on the internet. Over the course of 2012, we have seen the confusion of net neutrality, U.S. Elections, issues sprouting from Reddit and now Google’s opposition of UN’s regulations. Free speech and freedom of unrestricted access has been the principle issue of 2012.

These issues are vast and cannot be covered under a single post. But I’ll attempt to dilute the issues into a central theme and offer a broad guideline towards handling such issues...

I live in a country with net neutrality (officially not untill january 2013, but effectively already since may) and that is awesome. No more annoying carriers that block tethering or something and almost none website blocks (judges are still allowed to order blocks).

I think that the UN shouldn't claim the internet as they want to do know, the internet should stay decentralized.

And the same thing for other internet laws, SOPA in it's latest form was a problem for the whole internet and not only the U.S. If the U.S. wants to block websites, that's fine with me as long as they only block U.S. access.
