Wikileaks and the triumph of the internet's ideals

“The more freely information flows, the stronger the society becomes, because then citizens of countries around the world can hold their own governments accountable. They can begin to think for themselves.”

“I can tell you that in the United States, the fact that we have free internet — or unrestricted internet access is a source of strength, and I think should be encouraged.” – Barack Obama in a speech in China (video).

“Censorship should not be in any way accepted by any company from anywhere. And in America, American companies need to make a principled stand... This needs to be part of our national brand. I’m confident that consumers worldwide will reward companies that follow those principles.”

– Hillary Clinton, speech on internet freedom.
