Rezensionen

Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist
A growing number of people throughout the world are counting on the Internet to move their countries in a more democratic direction. Consent of the Networked describes what's happening, successes and failures, what's next, and what needs to be done. It's the real deal."

Kirkus Reviews
An incisive overview of the global struggle for Internet freedom.... In her wide-ranging book, MacKinnon details the many ways in which governments, corporations and others are using the Internetfrom empowering people to helping authoritarian dictators survive."

Booklist
A vitally important analysis of Internet manipulation that should be read by anyone relying on the web for work or pleasure."
