Internet has emerged as the most empowering tool for the 21st century. However, the new technology tools can also be subject to discords and confrontations with government of the day. There are already reports of government aiming to curb internet freedom. Since 1995, governments around the world are making efforts to balance a need to deal with serious issues such as security, internet freedom, internet accessibility, but repressive societies, these concerns often serve as convenient pretext to engage in censorship or surveillance of the internet that is stated to violate the right and privacy of users and threaten the free flow of information and access to internet.
