Open internet --- Exactly! As a national hero and teacher at the beginning of the 20th century has said "I understand the world as a field for cultural competition among nations." (Goce Delcev). I believe we all have to accept the internet as a field for an open, cultural, advanced, technological or any other beneficial competition among nations/groups/individuals...Probably, nation-states and citizens have to accept that in 21st century it is impossible to preserve everything nations wanted to protect/preserve in 19th/20th century. Globalization, Internet, Migration need an open competition among all players. A Chinese or a Russian can as easy upload a Youtube video with different content (promoting their own values) as a "Western" citizen can. If we, as nations, or individuals, resist the obvious transformation of the global society (even in the cultural/moral/religious aspects) probably we will just face more problems and prolong the inevitable transformation of the global society (where all social and historical aspects are being transformed too).
