Stephen Leonard
As a young man,
Stephen Leonard's interest in web censorship and activism originated from an unpleasant experience he had in a
Chinese internet cafe. Feeling strongly about what happened, Stephen joined up with the other memebers of
'The Three Monkeys' in order to inform people of world what kinds of information crimes
were being committed on their fellow people of the world. He believes
that everybody on the Earth has a natural duty to ensure the free movement of
information and thoughts across the most powerful
modern medium, the internet.
