Internet Defreedoming: An Emerging and Surging Market Sector
October 6, 2021
Check out “The Global Drive to Control big Tech.” The information in the article and the report suggest that Internet freedom is decreasing. The write up makes this point and supports it with data and research:
In the high-stakes battle between states and technology companies, the rights of internet users have become the main casualties.
The data can be viewed from a different perspective; namely, censorship is a growth business. Products and services needed to censor content at scale are available, but these are often clunkers or complex add ins to network components which are under load and often less reliable than a used Lada.
Opportunities include:
- Repurposed software designed for artificial intelligence operations; for example, identifying and flagging problematic content
- Workflow software which can automate the removal, posting of flags, or once in a while notifying a person his or her content is problematic
- Tools for locating objectionable content and triggering removal, logging the issue, and locating other instances of the “problem.”
After a decade of consistent censorship growth, opportunities abound.
Censorship appears to be a hot business segment.
