global voices, one world

I vote for GV Advocacy, because I have long been concerned with questions of censorship and control. I believe the internet has great potential to change and improve the condition and constraints of the public sphere, but that does not mean this will happen by itself – governments that seek to restrict websites such as YouTube, Flickr act out of fear and by doing so severely limit the potential of civil society.
