Calls to regulate the internet more strictly are now commonplace, but a new <strong><a style="color:#2585b2" href="https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-net/2021/global-drive-control-big-tech" target="_blank">report from Freedom House</a></strong> observes both the promise and peril of internet regulation. The global drive to control big tech thus carries a seeming contradiction: it can be an expression of democracy but can also support authoritarianism. On the tenth anniversary of the <strong><a style="color:#2585b2" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_against_SOPA_and_PIPA" target="_blank">blackout</a></strong> of Wikipedia, Google, Reddit, and Mozilla in response to proposed internet regulation in the U.S., we ask what we learned from the SOPA/PIPA debates, take stock of where internet regulation stands today, and ask what internet regulations carry the most promise or risk today.</p>
