With as many curses as the Internet has brought and all the potentialities for government power, there are also the blessings and opportunities.

The growing spectre of the surveillance state has little to do with terrorism. This is about control. We are on the cusp of a new digital age and in another 20 years much of our daily and social life will seem disconnected and recognizable from say, the Cold War years. It's happening that fast.

The Elites are terrified of investigative journalism, exposure, and the revelation of corporate activities in the developing world. But they also tremble at the thought of alternative economies rising up to challenge the protocols and mechanisms they've established. Bitcoin and other such alternative ideas will be hunted and crushed. It's not always going to make the news. Hosts of private contractors are labouring as we speak to wage cyber-warfare and destroy voices and systems of dissent.
