Something made me think of John Perry Barlow's A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace that he wrote in 1996 as a response to the Telecommunications Act of 1996 which was the first attempt pf the US government to regulate (some say censor) what what said by whom on the Internet.
It had been probably six or eight years since I last read it... it is still timely... as much now as it was then. I think I am going to have my middle school students read it this year.
