The Internet is Not Facebook (The Creative Life)
How we Got Here, Where we Could Go Next. The host for this show is Phyllis Blees. The guest is Corynne McSherry.
Our guest invites us into the world of cyberspace where creativity and innovation are thriving and sometimes thwarted. She brings us up to date on current efforts of the Electronic Frontier Foundation—the leading nonprofit digital rights group defending and promoting online civil liberties—to make sure technology serves freedom and justice around the world. She shares early threats to the free flow of creativity, innovation and knowledge that led to the creation of the EEF. She gives examples of publishing and copyright legal models that open or close the source of information flowing through the internet.
We learn about the “Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace” and how to create a global digital environment that upholds both human rights and constitutional rights so the internet and new technologies can serve human creativity and innovation.
