4.7 Cyberspace & Civil Liberties

Section 12.1 identifies sources that address proposals and plans for designing a National and a Global Information Infrastructure--an NII and a GII. Section 12.2 includes sources that examine the social impact of some of those proposals and policies. Sources addressing issues related to control, access, and social equity in cyberspace are contained in this section. Section 12.3 lists sources that address ethical and legal issues related to cyberspace and the NII. Sources concerned with issues related to rights, responsibility, and accountability on the internet or "information superhighway" are listed in this section. Sources focusing on issues related to democracy and civil liberties in cyberspace are included in Section 12.4. Also listed in this section are some classic works on topics of free speech and liberty by authors such as John Milton, John Locke, and John Stuart Mill. Recent articles from Time and Newsweek are also listed along side the more "scholarly" works. Many articles from these two popular magazines--especially those written by Philip Elmer-Dewitt and Steven Levy--have been anthologized in Computer Ethics and Computers & Society textbooks.
