Free Space

Public Space in cyberspace means to me that the internet is one gigantic "public sphere" in which everyone can freely access information and also create and share their own ideals and information. What is troubling as that although many people think the internet is like this, it isn't. As noted in the reading, users in places like Saudi Arabia will find it very difficult to use the internet freely. Their actions are tracked and observed, and they are unable to obtain certain information. The notion of freedom of information and free speach is absent here. Even in the United States there are certain areas where your actions are tracked and the information you may try to access is not free. Pay sites, cybersitters, and other forms of internet restriction make it so certain people are at a disadvantage in this area. Free public sphere? Maybe not.
