As the interests of powerful businesses become more embedded in the online world, so these corporations seek greater exemption from liability. They are manipulating governments and policy-makers, blocking and filtering content, and retaining and storing personal data at the cost of individual access and privacy. In this compelling account, Monica Horten confronts the deepening cooperation between large companies and the State. She looks at a number of case studies related to privacy, net neutrality, filtering and copyright. Corrupt political manoeuvrings, she argues, suggest that the original vision of a free and democratic internet is rapidly being eclipsed by a closed, market-led, heavily monitored online ecosystem. And the results are chilling. The Closing of the Net boldly tackles the deep and divisive controversies surrounding individual rights today. The book will prove essential reading for anyone concerned with present and future internet policy and its effects on our freedoms"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aInternet$xPolitical aspects 606 $aInternet$xLaw and legislation 606 $aCorporations$xPolitical activity 606 $aCopyright and electronic data processing 606 $aInteractive multimedia$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aInternet$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aInternet$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aCorporations$xPolitical activity. 615 0$aCopyright and electronic data processing. 615 0$aInteractive multimedia$xMoral and ethical aspects. 676 $a303.48/33 686 $aCOM060000$2bisacsh 700 $aHorten$b Monica$f1960-$01211168 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910156229903321 996 $aThe closing of the net$92795578 997 $aUNINA
