How non-government actors have removed accountability: Consent of the Networked reviewed

#SURYARAY #SURYA --- The (relative) maturity of the Internet and its use by both citizens across the world and the governments that occasionally fear them has produced something of a cottage industry in books. Titles on that relationship include the fairly recent _The Net Delusion_ by Evgeny Morozov and _The Internet of Elsewhere_ by Cyrus Farivar. The latest on the shelf is _Consent of the Networked_ by Rebecca MacKinnon. MacKinnon was co-founder of the Global Voices international blogging project. She was also a fellow at Harvard's Berkman Center and a China reporter for CNN. Her understanding of the fight against online repression begins with China, a country that suffers from Sinophilia and Sinophobia in equal measures. Her time as a reporter, academic, and critic both inside and outside the country (as well as her ability to speak with the Chinese directly) establishes her as an expert.

And one of the strongest contenders in this space is the American technology business community. Read the comments on this post http://dlvr.it/1KsSW0
