Cyberlibertarianism

In the Western states, the new cyberlibertarianism melds comfortably with traditional leave-me-alone-ism.

Cyberlibertarianism refers to a perspective (some would say philosophy) which claims that cyberspace and the Internet should be regarded as uncontrolled and unregulated electronic spaces where anyone is free to be whatever they wish and express themselves however they like.

Unabashed cyber-libertarianism, combined with an avaricious and wholly unconflicted brand of consumerism, permeates America's digital elite.
