"Consent of the Networked: The Worldwide Struggle for Internet Freedom"

A Book Launch and Live Discussion with Author, Rebecca MacKinnon

Drawing upon two decades of experience as an international journalist, Chinese Internet censorship expert, and Internet freedom activist, as well as co-founder of the citizen media network and Internews’ partner, Global Voices, MacKinnon offers a framework for concerned citizens to understand the complex and often hidden power dynamics in cyberspace amongst governments, corporations, and citizens.

"The Internet poses the most complex challenges and opportunities for human rights to have emerged over the last decade. Rebecca MacKinnon’s book is a clear-eyed guide through that complexity.” —Mary Robinson, Former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and President of Ireland

Rebecca will be joined by Internews’ VP for Internet Initiatives, Environment and Asia, Kathleen Reen. Kathleen leads Internews’ myriad of projects working on internet access for developing countries.
