This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace by EFF co-founder John Perry Barlow, and also America’s 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
But what does independence means in an age where our digital lives are more controlled than ever?
In this video I will walk you through three things:
- the context of the original declaration of independence
- the promise of John Perry Barlow’s Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace
- the kind of declaration we need today to protect our privacy, autonomy, and independence into the years to come.

Breaking free doesn't require a revolution. It starts with a simple decision. Stop handing over your mind, your money, and your children to systems designed to exploit and control them.
Independence, in 2026, is something you have to choose every single day.
