  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.

  OPENING CONVERSATION
  Jimmy Wales, founder, Wikipedia

  PANEL
  Rebecca MacKinnon, Vice President, Global Advocacy, Wikimedia Foundation
  Allie Funk, Senior research analyst for technology and democracy, Freedom House
  Vivek Krishnamurthy, Samuelson-Glushko Professor of Law, University of Ottawa

  HOST / MODERATOR
  Anupam Chander, Scott K. Ginsburg Professor of Law and Technology, Georgetown Law

  WEBCAST TODAY: Ranking Digital Rights 2017 Corporate Accountability Index launch @rmack #rankingrights 

  Today Thursday March 23 2017 att 9:30am EDT (13:30 GMT/UTC) Ranking Digital Rights will launch the 2017 Corporate Accountability Index: a ranking of 22 of the world’s most powerful telecommunications, internet, and mobile companies on their commitments and disclosed policies affecting users’ freedom of expression and privacy. The 2017 Index follows the inaugural 2015 Ranking Digital Rights Corporate Accountability Index which found widespread failure by companies to disclose key information about their policies and practices affecting freedom of expression and privacy. Users were left largely in the dark about how and why their information is collected, used, and shared, as well as many of the circumstances under which content is blocked or removed. Speaking at the launch will be  Kevin Bankston, Director, Open Technology Institute; Rebecca MacKinnon, Director, Ranking Digital Rights; Melissa Brown, Partner, Daobridge Capital; Arvind Ganesan, Director, Business and Human Rights, Human Rights Watch; Niels ten Oever, Head of Digital, Article 19. The launch will be webcast live via New America’s YouTube Channel.
