1. State of the Net 2012: Privacy Prognostication: Where Is Privacy Law Heading Towards the 113th Congress? download (audio/mpeg, 22.10Mb) Description: The roil around privacy law and regulation continues into 2012. The Federal Trade Commission just announced a major consent order with Facebook. Work continues on industry self reguatory efforts in the advrtising space. Members of Congress continue to offer privacy bills in a piecemeal fashion on everything from kids' privacy to Do Not Track. Technical working groups and browser companies continue to work on actualizing some "do not track" concepts online. And both the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Commerce are writing papers that will propose ways to address consumer privacy in the coming weeks. Our panel of experts will offer their thoughts on what all this activity on privacy means for Congressional policymaking. |

2. State of the Net 2012: The Two Edges of the Global Internet Freedom Sword: Can Internet Technologies Promote Free Expression Without Enabling Oppression? download (audio/mpeg, 20.29Mb) Description: On December 8, 2011 Secretary of State Clinton delivered a speech at the Conference on Internet Freedom in the Netherlands that presented a set of extraordinarily challenges for technology companies: How can Internet technologies be used to promote freedom while resisting government pressure to help with oppression. While admitting that there are no easy answers - and no set of "instructions" forthcoming - she urged "smart companies" to act now to prevent their products and services from being used as dual use tools of innovation and of oppression. A question before our expert panel will be how this veritable Internet freedom arms race will end, and can freedom or innovation survive it. Another question for the panel will whether some larger governance body will be needed to provide a framework for global Internet business?. |
