Netherlands first European nation to adopt net neutrality • The Register

The Dutch Parliament yesterday agreed to make the Netherlands the first nation in Europe to officially put net neutrality principles into law. The law will force ISPs and telecom operators to ensure access to all types of content, services or applications available on the network. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/09/netherlands_1st_european_country_to_adopt_net_neutrality/

Social Media and Law Enforcement: Who Gets What Data and When? | Electronic Frontier Foundation

This month, we were reminded how important it is that social media companies do what they can to protect the sensitive data they hold from the prying eyes of the government.
This morning, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security held a hearing on mandatory Internet data retention, once again reviving the debate over whether Congress should pass legislation to force ISPs and telecom providers to log information about how users communicate and use the Internet. The hearing, awash with rhetoric about targeting Internet crime and including an unexpected condemnation of EFF's privacy advocacy, was purportedly an information- and fact-finding hearing to explore the issue of data retention and consider what Congress' role should be. http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2011/01/house-subcommitee-hearing-revives-data?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

http://boingboing.net/2010/08/12/essential-new-book-o.html Marvin Ammori has an extensive review up on Barbara van Schewick's " Internet Architecture and Innovation ," a new book on Internet policy that Ammori describes as "essential reading for anyone interested in Internet policy--and probably for anyone interested in the law, economics, technology, or start-ups." The title (and the topic) are the sort of thing that tend to make readers' eyes glaze over, but Ammori's pithy post explains "why the book is important and eye-opening for everyone (...) not only for those who (like me) have spent their careers in Internet policy."

4chan is the anonymous Internet forum known for its pranks , its hacking , and the Rickroll. While its content and discussion is not suitable for children, it is a popular and important piece of web culture.
