T The first involves newly-surfaced details regarding retired wrestler Hulk Hogan’s privacy EDITOR-IN-CHIEF lawsuit against Gawker Media. Hogan — née Terry Gene Bollea — famously sued Gawker for Jack O’Dwyer defamation, loss of privacy and emotional pain in response to the site’s 2012 release of a sex tape [email protected] featuring Hogan and the (now-ex) wife of a (now former) friend. In March Hogan was awarded ASSOCIATE PUBLISHER $140 million in compensatory and punitive damages, with additional lawsuits pending.

However, in May it [email protected] was revealed that the Hogan suit was covertly bankrolled to the tune of $10 million by Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel.

The CONTRIBUTING EDITORS media company has now hired investment counsel to discuss financial options, which includes Fraser Seitel the possibility of a sale.

  • Netiquette: Miss Manners for the Web
    4 Netiquette: Miss Manners for the Web Welcome to the world of the new influencers. The reason the social web is sometimes called the “wild west” is that we’re still working out the kinks of how best to communicate with one another online. The rules of conduct may not be set in stone, but the social web isn’t a total free-for-all either. You should be aware of some key, often mystifying, communi- cations protocols before striking up conversations with the locals. This chapter provides some lessons Friends with Benefits (C) 2009 by Darren Barefoot and Julie Szabo on how to communicate with new influencers—bloggers, YouTube stars, Facebook friend magnets, and Digg superstars. Think of this chapter as finishing school for Internet communication. If you understand the social innuendo, you’ve got a much better chance of breaking into the inner circle and getting mentioned or reviewed by powerful online influencers who can send thousands of visitors—and potential buyers—your way. We will run through a variety of communications techniques here, but if you take one lesson from this chapter, take this: Listen first. Thankfully, nearly all new influencer communications occur in the Internet’s public forum, so you can adopt an anthropological approach. By emulating the influencers’ behavior and learning their dialect, you can be confident when you approach them. As Jane Goodall discovered, the best way to learn about a species is to live among them. So you’re going to start being active online right now. Have your computer in front of you while you read this chapter, because we’re going to put you to work.

  • Compared to Any Other Dossier, Lobbying Against the European Data
    Image By: Kenna Bonner http://www.lifethroughpictures.com/ Creative Comons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5 ompared to any other dossier, lobbying against the European data protection reform has taken unprecedented Cproportions. Shortly after the publication of the Commission proposal, Vice-President Reding told the UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph that the proposed privacy rules were subject to the most aggressive lobbying she has ever witnessed. Since the beginning of the legislative process in the EU Parliament in early 2013, lobbying efforts have only intensified. Pressure by the US government In December 2011, only days before the publication by of the proposal by the EU Commission, the United States Department of Commerce (DoC) launched a significant lobbying campaign. The campaign included high-level phone calls from senior figures in the US DoC to top level staff in the European Commission covering topics such as US business, multilateral and bilateral treaty organizations, traveller information, national security, law enforcement, trade and innovation. Partly as a result, this campaign lead to a watering down of the first draft by Commissioner Reding's staff. Between then and now, months of aggressive lobbying - especially by the US Chamber of Commerce - ensued, have recently culminated with threats of the Regulation (in its current form) sparking a "trade war". In January 2013, the US produced yet another lobbying paper to influence the European Union's decision making on European citizens' fundamental right to privacy and data protection. Data Protection \ Lobbying Industry lobbying & astroturfing resistance against the reform Many of the largest companies are undertaking a lot of lobbying in their own name and via trade associations, which is what one would expect.

  • Astroturfing Infotopia
    Astroturfing Infotopia Forthcoming, Theoria Gerry Mackie University of California, San Diego 9500 Gilman Dr., MC0521 La Jolla, CA 92093-0521, USA [email protected] March 2008 2 Introduction. The deliberative approach reigns in democratic theory. Yet, the institutional recommendations of deliberative democracy do not go far beyond the injunction to increase group discussion, in its sites, in its duration, and in the number of persons and issues involved. Actual deliberation, let’s say, is an institution of group discussion generally expected to yield benefits, in terms of all relevant values, more worthy than the costs. Who could be against that? Increasing discussion, however, is not the same as increasing deliberation: group discussion can have quite undesirable effects, or if positive in effect can still cost more than it’s worth. Thus, theoretical and empirical attempts to clarify the benefits and costs of group discussion in democratic politics are welcome. So far, the empirical results are mixed (Delli Carpini et al., 2004, Mendelberg 2002, Mutz 2006, McCubbins and Rodriguez 2006, Steiner et al. 2004, and others). Cass Sunstein’s Infotopia (2006) adds to worries about the benefits and costs of group discussion, and identifies novel methods of information aggregation that might usefully complement it in political democracy and elsewhere. Habermas’ ideal speech situation is an animating idea of deliberative democracy: where discussion is public and open to all, participants argue sincerely, each enjoys an equal right to participate, as Sunstein (2006) says, and, among other things, where there is an open agenda, no time and cost constraints, always the option to move the deliberation to a more reflective level, and unanimous agreement.
