William H. Dutton's presentation discusses the transformation of the internet from a largely Western-dominated space to a global platform for expression, privacy, and trust. The rise of a 'fifth estate' allows individuals to network and hold institutions accountable, highlighting the differing levels of internet filtering across countries. Additionally, a global survey reveals a convergence of values regarding freedom of expression and increased innovation among users in newly adopting nations.
