Top 10 Countries Censoring the Web When the World Wide Web was created in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee (not to be confused with the Internet itself, which is the core network developed many years earlier), its main objective was to enable the free exchange of information via interlinked hypertext documents. Almost 20 years later, that objective has been accomplished on most parts of the world, but not in all of them. Some countries are trying hard to keep an iron hand over the flow of information that takes place on the Web. Below you will find the most controversial ones. 10. The rundown Pakistan started censoring the web in 2000, when the main target was anti-Islamic content. How does the censorship work? There are only three international gateways on the country, and all of them are controlled by the Pakistan Telecommunication Company. Internet service providers are also required by law to monitor the activity of their clients to make sure that they are not accessing prohibited websites. What kind of content is blocked? 9. 8.

The Debate Over Internet Governance: Introduction Welcome to the Debate Over Internet Governance: A Snapshot in the Year 2000 This website was prepared as a final project for the course Internet & Society: The Technologies and Politics of Control at Harvard Law School. This site aims to do that which might seem impossible in a medium that changes so quickly and so dramatically to freeze a particular moment in the debate over internet governance. [Note: as of May 2005, the legal landscape has continued to change. Here is a link with more recent information about internet governance] The moment we seek to capture here is no ordinary moment in the development of the internet. At some level, even those most wary of formal governance for the internet recognize the need for central administration of some of the internets technical aspects. The creation of the Internet Corporation for Names and Numbers known widely as ICANN in November 1998 has given the debate on internet governance a new focus. On November 25, 1998, the U.S.

Vous avez dit "Mieux-apprendre" ? Que ce soit dans le cadre scolaire ou dans la vie professionnelle, force est de constater qu’apprendre est souvent vécu comme une démarche difficile, exigeant des efforts continus et une volonté sans faille, avec souvent des résultats décevants. Pourtant, petit enfant, nous avons tous appris avec plaisir des choses très nombreuses et extrêmement complexes. Après avoir enseigné l’informatique, puis la communication et le management pendant de nombreuses années en tant que formateur freelance et entièrement autodidacte (ce qui est pratiquement toujours le cas dans ces milieux) je suis tombé un jour par hasard sur un livre intitulé « Au bon plaisir d’apprendre ». Je l’ai lu d’une traite. J’y ai en effet reconnu nombre de mes pratiques (totalement instinctives jusqu’alors), et j’ai en outre découvert d’autres pistes que j’ai par la suite explorées avec bonheur dans le cadre de mon activité. Voilà. Et puis d’abord quel manque, quel sérieux ? …Mais où en étais-je ? Pour en savoir plus :

How to detect bullshit By Scott Berkun, August 9, 2006 Everyone lies: it’s just a question of how, when and why. From the relationship saving “yes, you do look thin in those pants” to the improbable “your table will be ready in 5 minutes”, manipulating the truth is part of the human condition. I’m positive that given our irrational nature and difficultly accepting tough truths, we’re collectively better off with some of our deceptions. But lies, serious lies, should not be encouraged as they destroy trust, the binding force in all relationships. Why people BS: a primer The first lie in the Western canon comes from the same joyful tome as the first murders, wars and plagues: the Old Testament. To recap from the book of Genesis, God tells Adam and Eve not to eat fruit from the tree of knowledge, as pretty as it is, for they’ll die. Please note that in this tale nearly everyone lied. People lie for three reasons; the first is to protect themselves. A well known fib, “the dog ate my homework”, fits the BS model.

Net Neutrality Posted by Eric Schmidt, Chairman and CEO of Google, and Lowell McAdam, President and CEO of Verizon Wireless (Cross-posted on the Verizon PolicyBlog.) Verizon and Google might seem unlikely bedfellows in the current debate around network neutrality, or an open Internet. And while it's true we do disagree quite strongly about certain aspects of government policy in this area -- such as whether mobile networks should even be part of the discussion -- there are many issues on which we agree. For starters we both think it's essential that the Internet remains an unrestricted and open platform -- where people can access any content (so long as it's legal), as well as the services and applications of their choice. There are two key factors driving innovation on the web today. Second, private investment is dramatically increasing broadband capacity and the intelligence of networks, creating the infrastructure to support ever more sophisticated applications. Finally, transparency is a must.
