For a free speech graduate seminar last semester I pondered what the free speech considerations would be in a government-sponsored crowdsourcing venture. It's related to the Public Forum concept in e-governance, but the paper is admittedly kind of thin on the case law support. Paper's titled "Crowdslapping the Government: First Amendment Protections for the Crowd in Government Crowdsourcing Ventures." It's under review at a conference right now. If you're interested in a copy, shoot me an email--happy to share. db --- Daren C. Brabham Graduate Teaching Fellow Department of Communication University of Utah 255 S.
