You Cannot Censor the Internet

Historians always like to point out that the Internet is derived from a military program called Arpanet – a project designed to ensure that locations could continue to communicate even when the nodes of communication on a direct path between them were destroyed, presumably by a nuclear strike on US soil. The idea that the internet can route round any physical problems is one of its strengths, but in the 21st century, it is the routing around the meta-physical road blocks that could be the internet’s greatest feature.
