Morozov has been a visiting scholar at Stanford University,[3] a fellow at the New America Foundation, and a contributing editor of and blogger for Foreign Policy magazine, for which he wrote the blog Net Effect.

In 2009, he was chosen as a TED Fellow where he spoke about how the Web influences civic engagement and regime stability in authoritarian, closed societies or in countries "in transition".

[12] Morozov expresses skepticism about the view held by some, such as Jared Cohen of Google, that the Internet is helping to democratize authoritarian regimes, arguing that it could also be a powerful tool for engaging in mass surveillance, political repression, and spreading nationalist and extremist propaganda.

He has also criticized what he calls "The Internet Freedom Agenda" of the US government and finds it naïve and even counterproductive to the goal of promoting democracy through the Web.
