noun Netizens

  1. Alternative letter-case form of netizen Members of the Net community, whether born in 1954 or 1986, will pretty much always rally to oppose censorship. But don't expect those same Netizens to consider authorship of a work of art on the Net to be important -- or to pay for online content.
