Internet freedom and internet security are two sides to the same coin:
- Social networks are powerful tools for organizing “Revolutions 2.0,” as well as convenient intelligence-gathering sites
- To promote openness, Wikileaks and its clones operate in secrecy
- Human rights NGO’s use the web to expose abuse, but must protect themselves from cyber-retribution
- Crisis mapping, a key tool for humanitarian response, requires secure protocols to keep potentially sensitive information safe
