The article, “Who’s the true enemy of
internet freedom – China, Russia or the US?” by Morozov (2015) argues that
America is the true enemy of Internet freedom. The author illustrates this by
comparing America’s actions with China and Russia. Actions done by China and
Russia, seen as nations who curtail freedom of expression and assembly, are
more benign and are of self-protection and self-preservation. America however,
uses Internet to retrieve data from users of American technology around the
world (Morozov, 2015).

Hey! good job!
ReplyDeleteThe content of the article is generally well summarized in Guo Xiong’s summary. He was able to correctly identify the main idea of the article. However, it could be better if Guo Xiong put more emphasis on how US government’s actions threaten internet freedom. So perhaps could add in more supporting ideas to illustrate the main idea, for example the disagreement b/w US government and US based companies.
Organization is clear and ideas are well connected (again the last part could be clearer). The language used is accurate and appropriate.
