Institutionalised information flow: Freedom of Thought Requires Free Media - re:publica 2012 - Eben Moglen
Media that spy on and data-mine the public are capable of destroying
humanity's most precious freedom: freedom of thought. Ensuring that
media remain structured to support rather than suppress individual
freedom and civic virtue requires us to achieve specific free technology
and free culture goals. Our existing achievements in these directions
are under assault from companies trying to bottleneck human
communications or own our common culture, and states eager to control
their subjects' minds. In this talk--one of a series beginning with
"The dotCommunist Manifesto" and "Die Gedanken Sind Frei"--I offer some
suggestions about how the Free World should meet the challenges of the
next decade. Source
