A recently launched US State Department campaign aimed at supporting global internet freedom has provided a new framework for renewed discussions among analysts and commentators.
"Countries or individuals that engage in cyber attacks should face consequences and international condemnation," said Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, according to the Wall Street Journal. Clinton went on to specifically name China, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, Vietnam and Egypt as countries where "a new information curtain is descending."
Although the editorial in the Wall Street Journal goes on to express support for Secretary Clinton’s initiative, the article does not address the specifics of the plan. Marc Lynch, however, takes a more analytical approach to the anti-censorship strategy.
