Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2011-05-08]: Slovakia has become the first country to impose a cost to all its citizens for the use of news Internet sites [source:
BBC News]. From China and Turney’s censorship, to Libya, Syria and Egypt’s cases of Internet blocking and from cases of Internet censorship by the US or Australia (see for example
web news) to the "paywall" of Slovakia. This new case is here to remind us that what we take for granted is not always like that. Maybe sometime we will tell our children fairy tales starting with “Once upon a time there was free Internet”…
