The question of whether the internet is not inherently a force for democracy has a premise. It is that the internet and the technology involved themselves does not necessarily relate to democracy directly. Even the opposing side which believes the internet is inherently a force for democracy concedes to this premise and state that the technology must be twisted towards democracy. The proposition’s case is dominated by the fact the internet not only provides useful information and access to users around the world, but also inappropriate, distorted truth, and manipulation and abusing by the government. Such disadvantages of internet, especially critical to those countries which internet technology is not well developed compared to developed nations, backlashes democracy. During the Egyptian revolution during the Arab Spring, the opposition and the proposition have digressing views upon this incident. The Egyptian government forced all network services to shut down, and the proposition states the internet is vulnerable to government control and abuse. On the other hand, the opposition states the internet casts that much fear to the dictators due to its nature. But we also have to ask ourselves whether the government is stupid enough to sit back and do nothing but unplugging the internet whenever they feel unsafe.
