It's been 30 years since John Perry Barlow of @eff published his Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace - a debated, but in many ways guiding document of the early Internet.

Barlow has since passed, but I think his main thesis can still be realized in spite of the growing surveillance state and corporatization of the Internet.

Thirty years ago today, John Perry Barlow of the @eff penned his Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace.

A number of his predictions have not panned out, but I cannot help but feel his central thesis lives on--at least for those willing to seize it.

It's been 30 years since Barlow's Declaration of Cyber Independence -- does it still matter?

Quick Look • Barlow penned his bold and controversial take on the future of the Internet 30 years ago. • Many of Barlow's predictions about the capabilities of the Internet to remain free have not panned out and unforseen threats have cropped up. • But, it's hard not to feel his central thesis can still be achieved—though perhaps, only if you chose it.

Today marks 30 years since John Perry Barlow—co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation—opened his laptop at the 1996 Economic World Forum in Davos and penned an unforgiving declaration of independence for the Internet.

Now, three decades later, as the Internet has come to dominate our lives and is in a crucial period of transition, it's a good time to reflect on Barlow's early vision of the Internet and how it might guide the Internet's future.

There are, no doubt, many parts of his declaration that simply haven't come true, but I can't help thinking that the spirit of Barlow's message can be achieved—at least for those who might be willing to seize it.

France’s Digital Sovereignty Push: How VPN Regulations Could Reshape European Internet Freedom

#France #AgeVerification #InternetFreedom #VPN #DigitalSovereignty

Enjoyed our time this week at Domain pulse 2026, discussing a variety of topics, including the need for more collaboration and mutual support amongst the European infrastructure community in light of the barrage of legal action in recent years which threaten #internetintegrity & #internetfreedom.

In the absence of that, the alternatives are not palatable.

We've written much about this. Let us know what you think - or more importantly, how you can help!
