Lessons learned from the last week cyber-attack

against the Georgian blogger. How you could discourage the invisible "fighters"? Or how to continue to trust those platforms, used frequently in the latest months - in Iran, Republic of Moldova, unrest in China, to mention only a couple of them? Should be the Internet freedom and the obligation to refrain to attacks an international obligation, entrusted by organisations and states?
PS: Among the entities accused of the revolt in Iran, at the show-trials in Tehran have been mentioned: Twitter and Facebook.

Elections and Internet

could be Internet policies a reason to offer - or not - your vote to a certain politician? Increasingly yes. Because Internet is increasingly a part of our lifes and a reality easy to deny or neglect. Keeping the control over the Internet could be a way to acquire power. But, in comparison with the usual reality, the virtual reality is almost impossible to control. A good news for democracy?
