Summary

This quote acknowledges how the Internet views censorship as a glitch or flaw that should be bypassed. Rather than accepting or complying with restrictions on freedom of expression, the Internet finds alternative paths to disseminate information and ideas. It suggests that attempts to control or suppress information online are futile, as the Internet's decentralized nature allows it to evade censorship and continue to facilitate the freeflow of information. The Internet's resistance to censorship reflects its commitment to openness and the belief that everyone has the right to access and share information without unnecessary restrictions.
