Subject: [Webinar] Illegal online content and liability of Internet intermediaries: Why not shoot the messenger?
To: igcbp@diplomacy.edu

Dear friends,

 

Our monthly Internet governance webinar takes place tomorrow, Tuesday 24th April, at 13:00 GMT. Our special host, Vladimir Radunovic, will discuss 'Illegal online content and liability of Internet intermediaries: Why not shoot the messenger?'

 

Themes in discussion: 

• Current trends in regulating the online content (DNS filtering, censorship by intermediaries, user data disclosure by intermediaries, etc)
• Intermediaries who are supposed to bear responsibility (Internet service providers, content providers)
• Why they matter today with regard to the global economy and basic Internet principles (Silicon Valley vs Hollywood)
• The alternative way to content policy and its challenges (new business models, liability of users, international cooperation).
