FYI -- hope to welcome many of you at our monthly call this evening. Best, Wolf _________ Rebecca MacKinnon wrote Sun, 18 Sep 2011 16:52:
Dear colleagues and friends,
On Thursday I launched a new section on the Global Voices Advocacy website called “The Netizen Report”: An overview of recent global developments related to the power dynamics between citizens, companies and governments on the Internet. I hope that these regular (probably quasi-weekly) reports can provide netizens around the world with useful information about who is seeking to influence and shape the digital platforms and networks we increasingly depend upon, and how. Armed with information, we are in a better position to defend our rights, and to make sure the Internet evolves in a manner that is compatible with free expression and dissent.
You can read the inaugural post here: http://advocacy.globalvoicesonline.org/2011/09/16/netizenreport-inaugural/
The format and content of the report will evolve over the coming months based on reader feedback and author experimentation. Your comments and criticisms are welcome. Within the coming week or so I hope to set up an email subscription system for these posts. Meanwhile those familiar with RSS feeds can subscribe immediately via this page: http://advocacy.globalvoicesonline.org/categories/special/netizen-report/
Cheers, Rebecca
