Internet Law: Cases and Problems (9th ed. 2019)
by James Grimmelmann 30 Jul '19

30 Jul '19

Dear all, The new (9th) annual edition of my book, Internet Law: Cases and Problems, is now available. It covers the core topics of the subject -- jurisdiction, free speech, privacy, online contracts, computer crimes, trademarks, domain names, virtual property, copyright, patents, antitrust, telecom, and platform regulation -- and features extensive questions and problems to prompt discussion. The new edition has been updated to include coverage of platforms as marketplaces and other recent developments. While the book was written primarily for law students (so it uses the law-school casebook format of excerpts from judicial opinions and other primary legal materials), it has been successfully adopted for a number of undergraduate courses. The extensive teacher's manual contains suggestions for using it with non-law students and I would be happy to discuss the details off-list with anyone who might be interested in assigning it. The book itself is available as a DRM-free PDF download from Semaphore Press at http://semaphorepress.com/InternetLaw_overview.html. The book is pay-what-you-want with a suggested price of $30. Students who have downloaded a copy are welcome to put it on tablets or other devices, print out as much or as little as they need, or redownload it as needed. Instructors considering the book are also welcome to download it for free (use the "freeride" button at the bottom right of the payment page) and should email me off-list for a copy of the teacher's manual. If you would like to use portions of the book (e.g. for a few sessions of a course on social impacts of the Internet), we suggest $1 per student per class session, and we are happy to discuss other arrangements if any of this would be infeasible for you or your students. The book also comes in a print-on-demand version available through Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/1943689091/. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions or suggestions. best wishes, James

The Digital Condition: An Experiment in Mediated Dialogue
by Mark Carrigan 29 Jul '19

29 Jul '19

[image: pietro-jeng-sQVXS8HBPPc-unsplash.jpg] What does it mean to speak of a digital condition? How can we describe, explain and understand our digital condition? What is it, that we are trying to come to terms with? Where exactly does ‘the problem’ of technology lie? Beginning in October 2019 we will embark on an experimental discussion group centred around those questions. Each week we will collectively engage with one text before moving on to a jarringly different take on ‘the digital condition’ in the following week. Instead of presenting a syllabus with a canon of text, our intention is to produce a participatory anti-canon that doesn’t follow a straight line but disorients, refracts, shocks and meanders. We are therefore asking anyone interested in participating to send us their suggested reading. What text do you think is important to make sense of the digital condition? What text would like to introduce to and discuss with a larger, interdisciplinary group? To participate please send a *suggested text, *a and *100 word description *off your choice and a *short biographical note *to mark(a)markcarrigan.net and contact(a)milanstuermer.com by August 31st 2019. We will select 10 texts from contributions on the basis of the following imperatives. Our intention is to produce an *anti-canon*, assembled in a participatory way through the juxtaposition of submissions: 1. Maximising the disciplinary diversity of contributors 2. Maximising the disciplinary diversity of *contributions* 3. Minimising thematic and substantive replication amongst contributions If your suggestion is selected, we would ask of you to write a short article about it to kick off the week’s discussion, as well as to give a brief, five-minute audio introduction to the text which addresses the following questions: 1. What is the text? 2. Why does it excite you? 3. How does it connect to broader debates? 4. How does it reflect a particular tradition?

CFP: Go Dark in Melbourne after AOIR 2019 at the Dark Social Spaces Workshop, featuring R. Gehl, Keynote. 7/8 Oct 2019
by Luke H 29 Jul '19

29 Jul '19

No apologies for cross-posting: debuting here a CFP and invitation to workshop with Robert Gehl on Dark Social Spaces, Oct 7-8 in Melbourne, Australia . Event Info & Signup Here: darksocial.eventbrite.com <http://darksocial.eventbrite.com/> Details: The Provocation Scholarship on the Darknet and dark social spaces tends to focus on the uses of encryption and other privacy enhancing technologies to engender resistance acts. The actors using these technological affordances are commonly identified as subcultural groups, activists, marginalised cultures and communities, trolls and socially divisive actors who seek to evade, refuse or disrupt institutional power. We would suggest, however, that this approach creates an artificial binary positioning a fringe of radical actors against institutions of governance, regulation and control. Similarly, approaches that distinguish between social agency and technological affordances protecting privacy, on the one hand, and institutional regulation and centralised surveillance on the other, do not acknowledge how powerful institutional actors use these decentralised technologies to reinforce their authority and control. This event brings together scholars, activists, and artists who are pushing past these binaries to create new approaches to Darknet and dark social studies. Keynote: Robert W. Gehl, Monday, 7 October 2019 2-4pm Robert W. Gehl, is a Fulbright Canada Research Chair and an associate professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Utah. Gehl is the author of Reverse Engineering Social Media, winner of the 2015 Association of Internet Researchers Nancy Baym Award. In his most recent book, Weaving the Dark Web Legitimacy on Freenet, Tor, and I2P (2018) Gehl uses the concept of legitimacy as a window into the Dark Web, presenting three distinct meanings of legitimate: legitimate force, or the state's claim to a monopoly on violence; organisational propriety; and authenticity. Workshop: Tuesday, 8 October 2019 In this workshop, we will provoke engagement and consideration of the implications of more entangled and complex views of dark actors and privacy technologies. The questions we raise address the tensions where technologies act as a support for privacy, connection, and activism whilst also facilitating practices of decentralised surveillance and social engineering that re-enforce existing power structures. Questions may include but are not limited to the following: • If we continue to view civic action and social inclusion through frames of resistance, diversity and social cohesion, then how do we respond to more ambivalent developments in these socio-technical environments? • How can digital darkness both shield and reveal social currents or identify emergent forms of social disruption? 150 word workshop abstracts Due 1 September to Toija.Cinque(a)deakin.edu.au <mailto:Toija.Cinque@deakin.edu.au> Selected best papers will be submitted towards a Special Issue in 2021.

New Book: Blockchain and Web 3.0. Social, Economic, and Technological Challenges. Routledge
by Massimo Ragnedda 27 Jul '19

27 Jul '19

Apologies for cross posting *Out now* Massimo Ragnedda and Giuseppe Destefanis (eds) *Blockchain and Web 3.0. Social, Economic, and Technological Challenges*. Routledge *Description* Blockchain is no longer just about bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general. Instead, it can be seen as a disruptive, revolutionary technology which will have major impacts on multiple aspects of our lives. The revolutionary power of such technology compares with the revolution sparked by the World Wide Web and the Internet in general. Just as the Internet is a means of sharing information, so blockchain technologies can be seen as a way to introduce the next level: sharing value. *Blockchain and Web 3.0 *fills the gap in our understanding of blockchain technologies by hosting a discussion of the new technologies in a variety of disciplinary settings. Indeed, this volume explains how such technologies are disruptive and comparatively examines the social, economic, technological and legal consequences of these disruptions. Such a comparative perspective has previously been underemphasized in the debate about blockchain, which has subsequently led to weaknesses in our understanding of decentralized technologies. Underlining the risks and opportunities offered by the advent of blockchain technologies and the rise of Web 3.0, *Blockchain and Web 3.0 *will appeal to researchers and academics interested in fields such as sociology and social policy, cyberculture, new media and privacy and data protection.

Ethical decision-making framework for communications
by Jill Farrar 27 Jul '19

27 Jul '19

Hi everyone, The Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) recently published guidance on how to create an ethical decision-making framework (EDMF) for communications. While it's written for the development sector, it's equally useful for other types of comms. It was specifically designed for digital communications. I researched/wrote the guidance and thought this group might find it interesting: https://acfid.asn.au/ethical-decision-making-framework-communications The AoIR's ethics guidelines were a particularly useful resource and I've included a link to them in section 6 <https://acfid.asn.au/content/section-6-useful-information-edmfs>(Useful information on EDMFs), along with a selection of other relevant guidelines, codes and papers. Here's a little more background on the need for more ethical guidance for digital communications: "Recent (and rapid) developments in smartphone technology, mobile internet and social media publishing have provided Australian iNGOs with many new opportunities and challenges when sharing stories about their work. Nearly 90% of Australians now own a smartphone and nearly 80% use social media, which has spurred massive change in the marketing and publishing industries. In the last five years alone, smartphone cameras have improved enormously and the newest smartphones can now capture publishing-quality images. "For iNGOs, these changes have fuelled both a desire to create new content for digital platforms, and an increase in the number stories able to be created using smartphones that are privately owned by their staff/members/supporters. "While the benefits are great, publishing more stories also creates more risk. Emily Moreton’s report for ACFID, Images in online fundraising and marketing (2018), highlighted that while the Code of Conduct was updated to include an ethical decision-making framework (EDMF) in 2017 (Compliance Indicator 6.2.1), 63% of ACFID Members responding to the ACFID Images Survey stated that more guidance on how to create an EDMF was a high priority. The report also noted, “Members themselves also identified gaining informed consent as the second-most challenging issue, and it was the only issue marked as ‘extremely challenging’ by survey respondents.”" I'd be interested to hear AoIR members' thoughts on these guidelines and would appreciate any links other relevant literature/resources.
