President Barack Obama promised to "fight hard" to protect Internet freedom and said the Democratic Party will include the position in its 2012 platform.

While answering questions on social-media site reddit, President Obama wrote, “Internet freedom is something I know you all care passionately about; I do too.” “We will fight hard to make sure that the internet remains the open forum for everybody — from those who are expressing an idea to those to [sic] want to start a business. And although there will be occasional disagreements on the details of various legislative proposals, I won't stray from that principle — and it will be reflected in the platform," he wrote.
