XS4ALL and Hivos invite you to the Book Launch:Consent of the Networked
Hivos and XS4ALL kindly invite you to the book launch of 'Consent of the Networked'; The Worldwide Struggle for Internet, by Rebbeca MacKinnon. A book launch for everybody in politics, business and the nonprofit sector, interested in freedom of personal and political expression in the 21st century.
A global struggle for control of the Internet is now underway. Nothing less than our civil liberties, privacy and even the character of democracy in the 21st century are at take. Consent of the Networked is a call to action and shows that it is time to stop arguing over whether the Internet empowers people, and address the urgent question of how technology should be governed to support the rights and liberties of users around the world.
Drawing upon two decades of experience as an international journalist, co-founder of the citizen media network and Hivos partner Global Voices, Chinese Internet censorship expert, and Internet freedom activist, MacKinnon offers a framework for concerned citizens to understand the complex and often hidden power dynamics amongst governments, corporations, and citizens in cyberspace.
Hivos and XS4ALL believe that free exchange of information, space for expression and opportunity for active participation of citizens are essential conditions for the development of a democratic society, and have been working towards this end for over a decade.
