of communication.
-The web the web is both a form of technology and a form of media, and it links
individuals and nations into one communication network. (Sharing news globally)

perfect example of this is snapchat and how the “company is committed to
assisting law enforcement investigations as the law requires.”

Cyberspace
-The declaration of the independence of cyberspace was paper written 20 years
ago by John Perry Barlow and basically depicts how the government set laws
on the internet without the consent of the governed and Mr. Barlow believed

did not require laws.
-Believed that the Internet could solve its own problems through social
contracts.
