Internet culture



During the first 20 years, in the days of the 
research network, a distinct "Internet culture"
was formed. This culture is the heritage of
a group of developers and users - the "First 
Nation" of the Net world. The Internet's unwritten 
"design plan" is described by the 
FREE FLOW OF DATA 
as an overall criteria for good design.

This holds true for the transport of data and also for 
any data content. The Internet is NOT designed to 
please censors or moralists. Instead, its technical 
design supports FREE SPEECH.
