This book examines the changes in the governance of human
expression as a result of the development of the Internet. It tells
the story of the emergence of a global regime that almost
completely lacks institutions, and develops a concept of
'expression governance' that focusses on the governance practices
of key actors in Europe and North America. The book illuminates the
increased disciplinary capacity of the Internet infrastructure that
has become apparent to the public following Edward Snowden's leaks
in 2013, and provides a theoretical frame within which such changes
can be understood. It argues that the Internet has developed a
'global default' of permissible speech that exists pervasively
across the globe but beyond the control of any one actor. It then
demonstrates why the emergence of such a 'global default' of speech
is crucial to global conflict in the international relations of the
Internet. The book concludes with an elaboration of the regulatory
practices and theatrical performances that enable a global regime
as well as the three key narratives that are embedded within it.
