Indexed. Obama vows to preserve open Internet. During his address to the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, President Obama promised the United States would continue to support a "free and open Internet" and would call out nations that censor content. On the same day that Commerce Secretary Gary Locke warned an increasing number of nations are enacting policies to censor the Web or block certain applications to protect domestic industries, Obama said the U.S. will always stand up for the individual's right to free speech.
Obama said the freedom to assemble without government permission and an independent media are critical to making social progress and holding those in power accountable. "Civil society is the conscience of our communities, and America will always extend our engagement abroad with citizens beyond the halls of government. Obama also promised the U.S. would actively promote technologies that allow people to communicate with one another in defiance of government bans.
