Viewed from a digital utopianstandpoint, the range of choices, tools, and opportunities to engage, chal-lenge, and create information or “content” democratizes, having arrivedavailable to all users without an apparent imbalance of power or discern-able limits imposed by social categories of difference, history, or historicalcontext
