  • Wikipedia and Intermediary Immunity: Supporting Sturdy Crowd Systems for Producing Reliable Information Jacob Rogers Abstract
    THE YALE LAW JOURNAL FORUM O CTOBER 9 , 2017 Wikipedia and Intermediary Immunity: Supporting Sturdy Crowd Systems for Producing Reliable Information Jacob Rogers abstract. The problem of fake news impacts a massive online ecosystem of individuals and organizations creating, sharing, and disseminating content around the world. One effective ap- proach to addressing false information lies in monitoring such information through an active, engaged volunteer community. Wikipedia, as one of the largest online volunteer contributor communities, presents one example of this approach. This Essay argues that the existing legal framework protecting intermediary companies in the United States empowers the Wikipedia community to ensure that information is accurate and well-sourced. The Essay further argues that current legal efforts to weaken these protections, in response to the “fake news” problem, are likely to create perverse incentives that will harm volunteer engagement and confuse the public. Finally, the Essay offers suggestions for other intermediaries beyond Wikipedia to help monitor their content through user community engagement. introduction Wikipedia is well-known as a free online encyclopedia that covers nearly any topic, including both the popular and the incredibly obscure. It is also an encyclopedia that anyone can edit, an example of one of the largest crowd- sourced, user-generated content websites in the world. This user-generated model is supported by the Wikimedia Foundation, which relies on the robust intermediary liability immunity framework of U.S. law to allow the volunteer editor community to work independently. Volunteer engagement on Wikipedia provides an effective framework for combating fake news and false infor- mation. 358 wikipedia and intermediary immunity: supporting sturdy crowd systems for producing reliable information It is perhaps surprising that a project open to public editing could be highly reliable.

In an environment that allows everyone to communicate information globally, internet referencing (or SEO) is a strategic discipline that aims to generate visibility, internet traffic and a maximum exploitation of sites publications. Often misperceived as a fraud, SEO has evolved to be a facilitating tool for anyone who wishes to reference their website with search engines. In this article we show that it is possible to achieve the first rank in search results of keywords that are very competitive. We show methods that are quick, sustainable and legal; while applying the principles of active SEO 2.0. This article also clarifies some working functions of search engines, some advanced referencing techniques (that are completely ethical and legal) and we lay the foundations for an in depth reflection on the qualities and advantages of these techniques. Keywords: Active SEO, Search Engine Optimization, SEO 2.0, search engines 1. INTRODUCTION With the Web 2.0 era and writable internet, opportunities related to internet referencing have increased; everyone can easily create their virtual territory consisting of one to thousands of sites, and practically all 2.0 territories are designed to be participatory so anyone can write and promote their sites.

    The Subcommittee on Communications and Technology and the Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Commerce of the Committee on Energy and Commerce Joint Hearing: “Fostering a Healthier Internet to Protect Consumers” Statement of Corynne McSherry, Ph.D. Legal Director Electronic Frontier Foundation October 16, 2019 As Legal Director for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, I thank Chairman Pallone, Ranking Member Walden and Members of the Subcommittee on Communications and Technology and the Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Commerce for the opportunity to share EFF’s views on how to create a healthier Internet and protect all of its users. EFF is a donor-funded nonprofit, with contributions from more than 30,000 dues-paying members from around the world forming the backbone of our financial support. The majority of EFF’s funding comes from ordinary individuals, and over 80% of that funding consists of donations under $10,000. We receive less than six and a half percent of our funding from corporate sponsors.1 For nearly 30 years, EFF has represented the interests of technology users both in court cases and in broader policy debates to help ensure that law and technology support our civil liberties. From that vantage point, we are well aware that online speech is not always pretty—sometimes it’s extremely ugly and causes real-world harm. The effects of this kind of speech are often disproportionately felt by communities for whom the Internet has also provided invaluable tools to organize, educate, and connect. Systemic discrimination does not disappear and can even be amplified online. Given the paucity and inadequacy of tools for users themselves to push back, it’s no surprise that many would look to Internet intermediaries to do more to limit such speech.

  • Building Secure and Reliable Systems
    Building Secure & Reliable Systems Best Practices for Designing, Implementing and Maintaining Systems Compliments of Heather Adkins, Betsy Beyer, Paul Blankinship, Piotr Lewandowski, Ana Oprea & Adam Stubblefi eld Praise for Building Secure and Reliable Systems It is very hard to get practical advice on how to build and operate trustworthy infrastructure at the scale of billions of users. This book is the first to really capture the knowledge of some of the best security and reliability teams in the world, and while very few companies will need to operate at Google’s scale many engineers and operators can benefit from some of the hard-earned lessons on securing wide-flung distributed systems. This book is full of useful insights from cover to cover, and each example and anecdote is heavy with authenticity and the wisdom that comes from experimenting, failing and measuring real outcomes at scale. It is a must for anybody looking to build their systems the correct way from day one. —Alex Stamos, Director of the Stanford Internet Observatory and former CISO of Facebook and Yahoo This book is a rare treat for industry veterans and novices alike: instead of teaching information security as a discipline of its own, the authors offer hard-wrought and richly illustrated advice for building software and operations that actually stood the test of time. In doing so, they make a compelling case for reliability, usability, and security going hand-in-hand as the entirely inseparable underpinnings of good system design. —Michał Zalewski, VP of Security Engineering at Snap, Inc. and author of The Tangled Web and Silence on the Wire This is the “real world” that researchers talk about in their papers.

  • Nowe Oblicza Przewodnika W Kontekście Rozwoju Kultury Uczestnictwa1 Prace Kulturoznawcze XVII Wrocław 2015
    Acta Blanka Brzozowska Universitatis Uniwersytet Łódzki Wratislaviensis No 3649 Nowe oblicza przewodnika w kontekście rozwoju kultury uczestnictwa1 Prace Kulturoznawcze XVII Wrocław 2015 T radycyjny przewodnik opiera się na autorytecie kogoś, kto odbył wcześniej opi- sywaną trasę i tym samym stworzył pewien model doświadczenia dla przyszłych podróżników. Forma przewodnika jest zatem swoistym dowodem autentyczno- ści, a tym samym stwarza obietnicę możliwości powtórzenia tego doświadczenia w takim samym kształcie, jaki obiecuje konkretna narracja. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest rozpatrzenie sytuacji, w której wspomniany autorytet podróżnika za- stąpiony zostaje autorytetem „tłumu”, sama zaś podróżnicza narracja kreowana jest w toku współpracy na zasadach uczestnictwa.1 Podejmując ten temat, pragnę odnieść się do najnowszych badań na temat kul- tury w kontekście rozwoju mediów. Przede wszystkim chodzi tu o kwestie nowych form działania wspólnotowego, które umożliwiają współtworzenie tekstów kultu- ry, a co za tym idzie — kreowanie nowych form praktyk kulturowych w ramach działania tak zwanych tłumów, rojów czy plemion2. Badacze opisują wspomniane zjawisko przez pryzmat uczestnictwa i dzielenia się (wiedzą, doświadczeniem, informacją), a nowe nowe typy aktywności kolektywnej w kategoriach ekonomii daru, wspólnot wiedzy czy kapitału emocjonalnego. Warto zatem przyjrzeć się nowo powstającym formom przewodnika i podróży, jakie tworzą się w kontek- ście społecznościowej kultury medialnej, na przykład w ramach takich zjawisk, jak crowdsourcing czy model „wiki”, które nie tylko otwierają nowe możliwości tworzenia przewodników, lecz także zmieniają oblicze samej podróży. Staje się 1 Projekt został sfi nansowany ze środków Narodowego Centrum Nauki przyznanych na podsta- wie decyzji numer DEC 2011/03/D/HS4/03408. 2 Przede wszystkim nawiązuję tu do koncepcji Michela Maffesoli.

  • Search Engines and Power: a Politics of Online (Mis-) Information
    5/2/2020 Search Engines and Power: A Politics of Online (Mis-) Information Webology, Volume 5, Number 2, June, 2008 Table of Titles & Subject Authors Home Contents Index Index Search Engines and Power: A Politics of Online (Mis-) Information Elad Segev Research Institute for Law, Politics and Justice, Keele University, UK Email: e.segev (at) keele.ac.uk Received March 18, 2008; Accepted June 25, 2008 Abstract Media and communications have always been employed by dominant actors and played a crucial role in framing our knowledge and constructing certain orders. This paper examines the politics of search engines, suggesting that they increasingly become "authoritative" and popular information agents used by individuals, groups and governments to attain their position and shape the information order. Following the short evolution of search engines from small companies to global media corporations that commodify online information and control advertising spaces, this study brings attention to some of their important political, social, cultural and economic implications. This is indicated through their expanding operation and control over private and public informational spaces as well as through the structural bias of the information they attempt to organize. In particular, it is indicated that search engines are highly biased toward commercial and popular US- based content, supporting US-centric priorities and agendas. Consequently, it is suggested that together with their important role in "organizing the world's information" search engines
