Philosophy:Technolibertarianism
Technolibertarianism, sometimes referred to as cyberlibertarianism, is a political ideology with roots in the Internet's early hacker cypherpunk culture in Silicon Valley in the early 1990s and in American libertarianism.[1][2][3] The ideology focuses on minimizing government regulation, censorship, or anything else in the way of a "free" World Wide Web. In this case, the word "free" is referring to the meaning of libre (no restrictions), not gratis (no cost). Cyber-libertarians embrace fluid, meritocratic hierarchies, which are believed to be best served by markets. The most widely known cyberlibertarian is Julian Assange.[4][5] The term technolibertarian was popularized in critical discourse by technology writer Paulina Borsook in her 2000 book, "Cyberselfish: A Critical Romp Through the Terribly Libertarian Culture of High Tech".[6][7][8][9]
