Attempts by autocratic governments such as China, Iran and the UK to censor the Internet will end in a decade, according to the Executive Chairman of Google, Mr Eric Schmidt.
Schmidt said that a better use of encryption will help people overcome government surveillance and make it impossible for any form of state imposed filtering.
Talking to Johns Hopkins University, Schmidt said that governments were fighting a rear guard action against the internet and they would eventually lose because the power has already shifted.
He said that there was a real chance that that censorship and the possibility of censorship will be removed in a decade.
Schmidt travelled to North Korea to try to get the country to remove censorship and admits that he failed.
