Hillary Clinton said :
Internet freedom is fast becoming a principle of US foreign policy
Countries restricting this freedom were violating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Technology could help circumvent government restrictions on the use of programs like Twitter and even internet-based e-mail accounts.
US has eased sanctions on Iran, Cuba and Sudan to help use of web services and support opposition groups
US technology firms will now be allowed to export online services
Opposition in Iran used Twitter and Email services to organise protests against disputed presidential poll last year
Ensure individuals in repressive countries can exercise their universal right to free speech and information
