Cyber-tarianism?President Hu Jintao (June 2008):
“We pay great attention to suggestions and advice from our netizens. We stress the idea of
"putting people first" and "governing for the people." With this in mind, we need to listen to people's voices extensively and pool the people's wisdom when
we take actions and make decisions. The web is an
important channel for us to understand the concerns of the
public and assemble the wisdom of the public.”

If we want free speech, first we need free thinking.
“Sharism will be the politics of the next global superpower. It will not be a country, but a new human network joined by Social Software.”
“Sharism will result in better social justice. In a healthy sharing environment, any evidence of injustice can get amplified to get the public's attention. Anyone who has been abused can get real and instant support from her peers and her peers' peers.”

Bloggers & civil rights lawyers argue:
“Internet democracy” isnʼt really democratic without things like:
• rational, systematic & fair mechanisms;
• mandated institutional transparency & accountability;
• meaningful and robust legal protection for free speech
