In an effort to counter the once borderless Internet, states are seeking to create informational boundaries in cyberspace. This is accomplished through a combination of technical and regulatory means — including laws, licensing regimes, industry self-regulation, national filtering, and content removal — thereby creating a matrix of controls.

The OpenNet Initiative is a partnership between the Citizen Lab, the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, the Advanced Network Research Group, and the Oxford Internet Institute.
