Who’s the true enemy of internet freedom - China, Russia, or the US?

Summary

In the article "Who is the true enemy of the internet? Russia, China or the US?” Morozov (2015) asserts that, contrary to popular belief, the US has infringed the autonomy of the Internet. The widespread reliance on the Internet has allowed technological companies access to vast amount of information. Reacting to the phenomenon, states have imposed various degrees of censorship. This infringement of human rights has been criticized, even by the US. Yet actions by the US, to claims rights to data processed by American companies, undermine its integrity.
