Description
Summary:This report was commissioned by the Global Network Initiative (GNI) and was made possible by a grant from the Open Society Foundations. It is an academic work designed to pose questions and bring others into a dialogue. It attempts to tackle some of the most difficult questions around protecting rights to freedom of expression and privacy in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector. We view this report as the beginning, rather than the end of a conversation, and we welcome feedback. The report was written by Ian Brown and Douwe Korff and is based on extensive interviews with government, civil society and corporate actors involved in these matters, and draws on their practical experiences. We held three workshops, in London, Washington DC and New Delhi, with key stakeholders from all of these groups.
