Every day, important news is silenced and activists are repressed by governments who want to limit free expression. Digital attacks can take news sites offline for as little as $20, and government firewalls can prevent people from finding information that matters to them.

Today’s harassment campaigns are driven by many of the same political and ideological conflicts that exist in the physical world.
