Summary for article

In the article "Who's the true enemy of internet freedom - China, Russia, or the US?", Morozov(2015) implies that the United States are the true enemy of internet freedom instead of the less liberal Russia and China. The author states the difference between US and the rest, was that US demands access to the database of the users that are using products developed by US companies, while China and Russia only demands access to the database of their own citizens. Morozov(2015) used the recent debate between Microsoft and the US government as stepping stone to his arguments; where the US government demanded Microsoft to grant access for the US government to their database in Ireland.
