The Internet presents a dilemma: while it facilitates sharing valuable information and services, it can also spread harmful content like national secrets and calls for violence. Censoring this information might enhance security for some, but could jeopardize free speech and the safety of activists. This project seeks to explore the delicate balance between security and freedom in the digital age, examining the question of when and how the government should be allowed to censor or block internet traffic. The project will analyze the impact on everyday internet users, intelligence agencies, and political activists, drawing on resources like articles and videos on online hate speech and internet censorship.
