'''''Digital imprimatur''''' is a term widely associated with [[John Walker (programmer)|John Walker]], due to his article of the same name. Traditionally in the [[Roman Catholic Church]], an [[imprimatur]] is a censor's official approval of publication. Thus a digital imprimatur is needed under a system of [[internet censorship]].

John Walker argues in his article ''The Digital Imprimatur: How big brother and big media can put the Internet genie back in the bottle'', that there is increasingly a crackdown on the ability for internet users to voice their ideas, as well as an upcoming official state of internet censorship on the horizon. Walker claims that the most likely candidate to usher in the digital imprimatur is [[digital rights management]], or DRM.

Other people predict the establishment of a [[dynamic equilibrium]] between repressive official and commercial and more free but in some cases illegal technologies, resulting in the emergence of [[darknet]]s and [[anonymous P2P]] systems, together with alternative networking systems (including but not limited to [[sneakernet]]s and both fixed and ad-hoc [[wireless mesh network]]s), and vivid [[underground culture]] and [[black market]] centered on them, in accordance with the [[iron law of prohibition]].
