Un'informazione interessante da Mb ----- Original Message ----- From: INFOS Réseau DEL/CNRS To: destinataires inconnus: Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2010 9:51 AM Subject: Info DEL/CNRS : Of interest to the online deliberation community.... CALL FOR PAPERS Conference for E-Democracy and Open Government http://www.donau-uni.ac.at/cedem DEADLINE for Submission: 1 December 2010 CeDEM11 presents the following Tracks: E-PARTICPATION with co-chairs: Julia Glidden (21C Consulting, UK) and Jeremy Millard (Danish Technological Institute, DK) OPEN GOVERNMENT with co-chairs: Philipp Müller (University of Salzburg, Business School, AT) and Axel Bruns (Queensland University of Technology, AUS) E-VOTING with co-chairs: Melanie Volkamer (Technical University Darmstadt, GER) and Thad Hall (University of Utah, USA) OPEN DATA and OPEN ACCESS with co-chair: Andy Williamson (Hansard Society, UK) During the last 10 years, the world has focused on social media and the new forms of societal behaviour, including content generation, collaboration and sharing as well as network organisation. These behaviours and expectations, in particular transparency and access to data, new ways of interacting with government and democratic institutions will continue to develop, and profound changes in society are to be expected. Society has been confronted with Open Government, Open Data and Open Access. What have the experiences been so far? How do these impact society, democratic structures and organisations? What changes occur at citizen level? What are the implications for democracy, society, science and business? DEADLINE for Submissions: 1 December 2010 We would like to invite individuals from academic, applied and practitioner backgrounds as well as public authorities, NGO/NPOs, education institutions and independent organisations to submit their research and project papers as well as workshop proposals related to the CeDEM11 Tracks. We welcome different multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches and disciplines including (but not limited to): law & legal studies, social sciences, computer sciences, political sciences, psychology, sociology, applied computer gaming and simulation, democratic theory, media and communication sciences.

The Atlantic: "A Shift on the First Amendment and Internet Speech"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Oct. 19, 2010

Oct. 19, 2010

A Shift on the First Amendment and Internet Speech By Garrett Epps William Shakespeare would have liked Justice Stephen Breyer. At oral argument, Breyer does not just hurl tendentious questions at hapless counsel. Like Hamlet, he likes to hear himself think. The most significant moment in Wednesday's bizarre oral argument <http://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments/argument_transcripts/09-751.pdf> in /Snyder v. Phelps/, the Westboro Baptist Church funeral-picketing case, may be this question from Breyer to Sean Summers, the lawyer representing grieving father Albert Snyder. Snyder's claim was that picketing his son Matthew's funeral (even at a distance), and publishing an "epic" ridiculing Matthew's religious upbringing (even though on a website not sent to the family) constituted "intentional infliction of emotional distress." Straightforward application of First Amendment precedent suggests that the claim can't succeed. But Breyer seemed willing to think aloud about whether new precedent is needed: So now we have two questions. One is, under what circumstances can a group of people broadcast on television something about a private individual that's very obnoxious? . . . And the second is, to what extent can they put that on the Internet, where the victim is likely to see it? Either on television or by looking it up on the Internet. Now, those are the two questions that I'm very bothered about. I don't know what the rules ought to be there. Breyer went on to speculate about a radical new rule for such cases: allow compensatory damages--intended to repair actual harm done (like the effect on Albert Snyder's health) by the speech--but not punitive damages, which are designed to deter others from doing the same thing. Note long before, in an interview <http://voices.washingtonpost.com/postpartisan/2010/09/the_koran_and_justice…> on /Good Morning America/, George Stephanopoulos asked Breyer whether the nature of free speech has changed in a world where threatened Koran burning by obscure publicity-hounds in Florida could spark riots in Kabul. Breyer responded: And you can say -- with the Internet, you can say this. You can't shout fire in a crowded theater. Holmes said [the First Amendment] doesn't mean you can shout 'fire' in a crowded theater. Well, what is it? Why? Because people will be trampled to death. And what is the crowded theater today? What is the being trampled to death? It will be answered over time in a series of cases which force people to think carefully.

Tech Review: "Censorship Circumvention Tools Aren't Widely Used"
by J.C. DE MARTIN Oct. 19, 2010

Oct. 19, 2010

Monday, October 18, 2010 *Censorship Circumvention Tools Aren't Widely Used* *Users in authoritarian regimes either don't know about them or aren't interested.* By Erica Naone Tech humanitarians have put a lot of effort into producing tools like Tor and Freegate that can be used to access the Internet freely from anywhere, fighting the restrictions placed by the governments of such countries as China and Iran. But according to a new study from the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University, not many people are using the tools. What's more, the researchers found that the most popular circumvention tools aren't the ones designed to protect dissidents. Instead, most of the people who are avoiding censorship restrictions are using simple proxies to do so, which connect users to blocked content but don't typically take steps to conceal the identity of the person accessing the information. The researchers are now working to figure out how to encourage adoption of the tools that better protect people. The researchers found that in countries that filter the Internet heavily, no more than 3 percent of the Internet-using population turns to censorship circumvention tools to get around restrictions. And even this estimate is high, they say. It's hard to measure usage under these circumstances, and the figures may include people who aren't in countries where Internet traffic is filtered. The numbers might also count people multiple times if they use multiple tools. "It's a worrying finding," says Ethan Zuckerman <http://ethanzuckerman.com/>, one of the lead authors of the report and cofounder of the blogging advocacy group Global Voices. "I think those of us in countries where Internet access is virtually unfettered tend to assume that there would be massive, pent-up demand to access blocked content. But it's easy to forget--it's hard to want what you don't know about and have never had. [...] Continua qui: http://www.technologyreview.com/web/26574/?nlid=3655
