Written by Andrew Rens on October 7th, 2015A new book on the new censorship
Written by Andrew Rens on October 1st, 2015‘Global Censorship: Shifting Modes, Persisting Paradigms’ deals with the new ways in which censorship has been privatized, through ISP liability, blocking and filtering. It has just been published by the Access to Knowledge Global Academy as part of its Access to Knowledge Research Series and is available under a Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 licence here.
It includes a chapter by yours truly on the failure of due process in ISP liability and takedown procedures.
