 <!-- Should we rethink the nature and limits of freedom of speech in
 the internet age? -->
 
+In modern society usage of the internet is clearly widespread and is
+noticeably an incredibly significant in our world today and will
+continue to be so [@stats;@stats-population;@stats-access]. The nature
+of the internet raises many questions in relation to our
+understanding of freedom of speech and allows the spread of
+information in a way that was once impossible. The significance and
+prevalence of the internet both now and in the foreseeable future,
+particularly given its popularity with young people means that we must
+consider the internet's relation to freedom of speech and how we
+should, or rather shouldn't attempt to act on it.
