  VIDEO: Rebecca Mackinnon ‘Playing Favorites’ about online threats to #humanrights #netfreedom @rmack 

  Rebecca Mackinnon is a senior research fellow at the New America Foundation, where her work focuses on holding technology companies accountable to universally recognized human rights standards on free expression and privacy. She is currently working with the University of Pennsylvania and Internews on a new project called Ranking Digital Rights. She recently wrote an article for Guernica Magazine Playing Favorites giving some details of the project’s theme – how the power of big online companies and governments to change local Internet experiences could threaten human rights worldwide. New America Foundation have now posted a video in which she talks about the article.

  @InternetSociety Supports UN Human Rights Day Focus on Social Media #netfreedom 

  [Geneva, Switzerland – 09 December 2011] – The Internet Society welcomed the focus of today’s United Nations Human Rights Day event highlighting the transformational role of the Internet and social media applications in giving voice to people around the world. The Internet Society is a strong advocate of an open and accessible Internet, and sees the Internet as an enabler of human rights.

  The influence of the Internet and social media on the ability of citizens to connect, share ideas, and join communities is undeniable. In 2011, popular movements in the Middle East and North Africa demonstrated the Internet’s power to enable individuals to exercise their fundamental rights, in particular the right to freedom of expression as well as the right to peaceful assembly and association. In this context, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights also points to the role of social media in peaceful protest movements in many other cities across the globe.

  These events illustrate the powerful impact of social media by generating awareness of and support for efforts of people from all walks of life seeking to bring about change, unconstrained by borders, time, and distance.
