Hi there!

We’re delighted to invite you to a NINSO guest talk
<https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/academic-departments/northumbria-law-...>
with Dr Paul Bernal (UEA) on ‘*Why do Governments always get internet
regulation wrong?*’

WHAT: The regulation of the internet is becoming a bigger deal by the day.
Fake news, trolling, copyright, extremist content, hate speech and more are
all coming increasingly under the focus of governments. How do we get to
grips with Facebook and Google? What about piracy? And yet with almost
every move our governments seem to get it wrong - from excessive and
ineffective surveillance to counterproductive ‘anti-trolling’ laws and
copyright enforcement that threatens to stifle free speech and alienate
generations. Why do we seem to always get it wrong? Using his new book, *The
Internet, Warts and All: Free Speech, Privacy and Truth, *Paul Bernal will
show how these issues are all interlinked and suggest at least some ways
forward that might have a chance of some kind of success - by looking at
the internet more honestly: examining it ‘warts and all’.

WHO: Paul Bernal is a Senior Lecturer in Information
Technology, Intellectual Property and Media Law at the University of East
Anglia, and specialises in internet privacy and related rights – his book *The
Internet, Warts and All: Free Speech, Privacy and Truth* was published by
Cambridge University Press in 2018. His areas of research interest include
surveillance by both government agencies and corporations, the political
use of data and the use (and misuse) of social media: he is a
prolific blogger (at https://paulbernal.wordpress.com) and tweeter (as
@paulbernalUK).

WHEN: Tuesday 12th March in at 1-2pm

WHERE: CCE1 – 410 (Northumbria University, Faculty of Business and Law)

WHY: delicious food will be served before the talk at 12:30 (and yes, the
speaker is brilliant and the topic is hot) J
