Two Papers on Intenet Content Rating Just a few days after diskussing internet content rating systems I stumbled on two papers on the subject: Who Watches the Watchmen: Internet Content Rating Systems, and Privatised Censorship, November 1997 and Who Watches the Watchmen Part II: Accountability & Effective Self-Regulation in the Information Age, September 1998. Also found at http://www.cyber.rights.org/ Internet Filters: A Public Policy Report, Fall 2001 Marjorie Heins & Christina Cho, Free Expression Policy Project  US National Coalition Against Censorship  Rights & Democracy Report: China's Golden Shield: Corporations and the Development of  Surveillance Technology in the People's Republic of China, October 2001.  Note also the review of China's Internet Regulations and Domestic Legislation. The decision of the High Court of Justice in relation to UK ISPs with regards to the Bulger injunction, July 2001. Cyber-liberty advocates have lambasted the UK Internet regulator's decision to close down newsgroups that are known to regularly contain child pornography, dismissing the decision as a desperate attempt to justify the organisation's existence. See the 2001 News section of Cyber-Rights.Org for related news items. 18:19 # G!
