Google boss says censorship will end in a decade
Friday, November 22, 2013
Google boss Eric Schmidt has predicted that censorship could come to an end in a decade through the use of encryption to overcome government surveillance.
By Alina Selyukh
First they try to block you; second, they try to infiltrate you; and third, you win. I really think thats how it works. Because the power is shifted, he said. I believe theres a real chance that we can eliminate censorship and the possibility of censorship in a decade.
Mr Schmidt has long spoken out against limitations to the freedom of expression and restricted internet access around the world. Earlier this year, he travelled to North Korea, a country disconnected from the rest of the world, to promote the cause.
Its clear that we failed. But well try again. We have not been invited back, he said of the personal trip, the timing of which was criticised by the US State Department because it came shortly after North Koreas long-range missile launch.
And Google is now one of several tech firms embroiled in the controversy over the reach of US government spying. Top secret files disclosed by former spy agency contractor Edward Snowden have suggested the National Security Agency has tapped Googles and others communications links to aid in its gathering of intelligence.
At the time, Mr Schmidt said the NSAs activity, if true, was outrageous and potentially illegal.
Google, at which Mr Schmidt served as CEO until 2011, has faced its own criticism for intercepting data over the years. The company acknowledged in 2010 that a fleet of cars it operates to map the worlds streets had mistakenly collected passwords and other personal data from home consumers wireless networks over a two year-period.
Summary: In the midst of the NSA and gleeful surveillance by governments worldwide, does Schmidt's prediction have merit?
Google's Eric Schmidt says that it is possible for censorship as we know it to end within a decade.
Speaking at a Johns Hopkins University on Wednesday, the tech giant's executive chairman said that in areas such as China and North Korea -- where the Internet is restricted and free speech can result in severe punishment -- the better use of encryption and technological innovation could keep everyone connected and prevent spying -- whether the ruling powers that be like it or not. Schmidt commented:
"First they try to block you; second, they try to infiltrate you; and third, you win. I really think that's how it works. Because the power is shifted.
I believe there's a real chance that we can eliminate censorship and the possibility of censorship in a decade."
According to Reuters, speaking of a trip to North Korea, Schmidt said that attempts to lessen restrictions on the flow of information into the country failed.
While on the trip in January, his daughter Sophie summed up the country as "like The Truman Show, at country scale." Sophie mentioned that the delegation were advised to leave their gadgets in China to stop them being confiscated and infected with malware -- and while there are three separate versions of the Internet, a supervised one, university network and the country's intranet, the average North Korean cannot access the Web freely.
In addition, despite 3G connectivity, data access is non-existent. The Google chairman pleaded with officials from the so-called "Hermit country" to remove Internet access barriers, warning that economic destruction and isolation will be North Korea's future if they failed to do so soon (if not so already). At a press conference in Beijing, Schmidt said:
"As the world becomes increasingly connected, their decision to be virtually isolated is very much going to affect their physical world. [Web restrictions will] make it harder for them to catch up economically. We made that alternative very, very clear."
The Google executive has not been invited back to the country. However, as we all know in light of the U.S. National Security Agency document leaks provided by Edward Snowden, censorship and surveillance can be found closer to home.
