On matters of Internet freedom, the Western world can’t even begin to make up its mind, and its two biggest transnational institutions may soon fall into a complex, ideological struggle over people’s rights to digital expression. Last Friday, the United Nations declared an audacious new right to the Internet in a long report, as The Atlantic’s Nicholas Jackson chronicled. In the wake of Middle Eastern revolutions of the Arab Spring, the UN states that the Internet acts as a catalyst for a variety of other human rights, for free expression and the democratic exchange of ideas. This expression can “offend, shock or disturb” as well as attack governments and high-profile figures, but people must be able to raise their voices online.
