AJE Fault Lines: Controlling the Web
Fault Lineslooks at the fight for control of the web, life in the digital age and the threat to cyber freedom, asking if US authorities are increasingly trying to regulate user freedoms in the name of national and economic security.
This 25-minute AJE documentary series reviews the debate over SOPA, investigates Anonymous, and discusses trade deals like ACTA - all to explore how trade and legislative initiatives that are apparently focused narrowly on copyright represent policy leverage for much further-reaching efforts to control the Internet and curb its socially transformative uses. Consider it a primer for understanding how these efforts continue, indefatigably as the walking dead, in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and new legislation.
