Internet & Society for the week of Feb 4, 2007
Geoff McGovern
This week in our Internet and Society class we will be looking into
the relationship between the individual and the state in a globally
networked environment. The instructors, Rob and Colin, have posted
the following teaser on our wiki to get you interested:
"Is there such a thing as too much of a good thing? What happens when
anyone can publish to a national (and global) audience with virtually
no oversight? In this class we will address efforts in the United
States to limit speech on the Internet through legislation."
Sounds like a good free speech themed discussion starter to me. So
please join us at Berkman Island at 7:35 EST/ 4:35 SLT. The wiki page
with the readings can be found here:
Also, you are all welcome to join me for office hours Thursday night
at Berkman Island, 9-10 EST/ 6-7 SLT, if you'd like to meet with your
classmates for more in-depth discussion, or if you just like to hang
out and meet our at-large cohort! Last week's transcript can be found
here:
