Technolibertarianism

Technolibertarianism, sometimes referred to as cyberlibertarianism, is a political philosophy with roots in the Internet's early hacker cypherpunk culture in Silicon Valley in the early 1990s and in American libertarianism.^[1]^[2]^[3] The philosophy focuses on minimizing government regulation, censorship, or anything else in the way of a "free" World Wide Web. In this case, the word "free" is referring to the meaning of libre (no restrictions), not gratis (no cost). Cyber-libertarians embrace fluid, meritocratic hierarchies, which are believed to be best served by markets. The most widely known cyberlibertarian is Julian Assange.^[4]^[5] The term technolibertarian was popularized in critical discourse by technology writer Paulina Borsook.^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]

Technolibertarian principles are defined as:

The policy should always be considerate of civil liberties
The policy should oppose government over-regulation
The policy that provides rational, free market incentives is the best choice
