Titre(s) : The offensive Internet [Texte électronique] : speech, privacy, and reputation / edited by Saul Levmore and Martha C. Nussbaum
Publication : Cambridge, Massachusetts : Harvard University Press, 2010
Description matérielle : 1 online resource (vi, 299 pages)
Note(s) : "The Internet has been romanticized as a zone of freedom. The alluring combination
of sophisticated technology with low barriers to entry and instantaneous outreach
to millions of users has mesmerized libertarians and communitarians alike. Lawmakers
have joined the celebration, passing the Communications Decency Act, which enables
Internet Service Providers to allow unregulated discourse without danger of liability,
all in the name of enhancing freedom of speech. But an unregulated Internet is a breeding
ground for offensive conduct. At last we have a book that begins to focus on abuses
made possible by anonymity, freedom from liability, and lack of oversight. The distinguished
scholars assembled in this volume, drawn from law and philosophy, connect the absence
of legal oversight with harassment and discrimination. Questioning the simplistic
notion that abusive speech and mobocracy are the inevitable outcomes of new technology,
they argue that current misuse is the outgrowth of social, technological, and legal
choices. Seeing this clearly will help us to be better informed about our options.
In a field still dominated by a frontier perspective, this book has the potential
to be a real game changer. Armed with example after example of harassment in Internet
chat rooms, blogs, and forums, the authors detail some of the vile and hateful speech
that the current combination of law and technology has bred. The facts are then treated
to analysis and policy prescriptions. Read this book and you will never again see
the Internet through rose-colored glasses"--Jacket.
