This paper argues that although Washington routinely chided foreign governments and their corporate collaborators for engaging in online censorship and other forms of Internet repression, the tables have turned following the revelations of Edward Snowdon in 2013 that US government agencies were also monitoring the Internet. The author then contends that, despite the many complications arising from the Snowden disclosures, the US government must continue to promote its Internet Freedom Agenda while still engaging in electronic surveillance aimed at protecting national security.
