From an
interview with Vice, Bruce Schneier speculates about how power struggles will play out on the internet in the coming years:
The internet is interesting because it really changes so many things.
When the internet was born, there was this belief that it would vastly
change the power structure. There's a great quote from John Perry Barlow
in the mid-'90s at the World Economic Forum, and he basically says the
governments of the world have no business on the internet, that have no power over the internet.
You can't legislate it. The internet is it's own thing. It's a really
utopian way of looking at the world, but we believed it. We believed the
internet would change the world, would give power to the powerless. And
it did, for many years. The ability to organize, to coordinate—it made
so many things different.
And that changed recently. Governments discovered the
internet. So now we're seeing that in China, for example, the internet
is a tool of social control, and now both sides are using the internet.
The Syrian dissidents are using the internet to organize, the Syrian
government uses the internet to round up dissidents. That interplay
between the institutionally powerful—the governments and
corporations—and the distributively powerful—dissident groups,
criminals, and hackers. How they both use the internet to increase their
power, how they use the internet against each other, I think is
fascinating. It's something that we need to look at. In the coming years
we're seeing a lot more power struggles play out on the internet. And
I'm just curious how that's gonna end up—it's not at all obvious.
Both the parties or individually use the internet for their own personal and professional reasons. Internet along with its benefits and ease brings its disadvantages aswell
