WEBCAST JAN 18 – Regulating the Internet Ten Years after the SOPA/PIPA Blackout
On Tuesday 18 January 2022 at 11:00-12:30 EST (16:30-17:30 UTC) the Institute for Technology Law & Policy at Georgetown Law hosts a webinar ‘Regulating the Internet Ten Years after the SOPA/PIPA Blackout‘. Calls to regulate the internet more strictly are now commonplace, but a new report from Freedom House observes both the promise and peril of internet regulation. The global drive to control big tech thus carries a seeming contradiction: it can be an expression of democracy but can also support authoritarianism. On the tenth anniversary of the blackout of Wikipedia, Google, Reddit, and Mozilla in response to proposed internet regulation in the U.S., we ask what we learned from the SOPA/PIPA debates, take stock of where internet regulation stands today, and ask what internet regulations carry the most promise or risk today.
