The internet and democracy

Good evening everyone! I found this video on ted.com (my new favorite website, by the way) in it has to do with the internet's role in democracy. It starts by explaining a common assumption that we hold of : more technology = greater connectivity = democracy. The speaker then quickly tries to negate that assumption by trying to prove that the internet can actually enable tryanny. The speaker brings in many examples of blocking, censoring, and spinning that government/ regimes use to promote their agendas.
