Trump’s internet opportunity

[Commentary] We are standing at a critical juncture in our collective digital history. The rise of cybersovereignty – or, as it might be more accurately called, cyberfascism – has ushered in a global wave of censorship, surveillance, monitoring, and filtering that could directly hamper, or even reverse, the spread of a free and open internet.

Couple that with Russian interference into not only the US election but potentially others around the world, and digital warfare puts core freedoms at risk globally. Once inaugurated, in his first 100 days President-elect Donald Trump needs to take immediate steps to establish a clear and effective cybersecurity policy and engage the global community in the realms of both digital offense and defense.
