Civility, Speech and Cyberbullying - A Code of Conduct for the Web?
Wednesday, April 25, 6:00pm
Berkman Center Conference Room
23 Everett Street, Second Floor, Cambridge, MA
As the blogosphere struggles to come to grips with the reality of cyberbullying - threats and intimidation, aimed most often at women bloggers - various proposals for codes of conduct have surfaced. But can there be a code? What type of conversation would such a code try to create? Is civil conversation an elitist ideal or the bedrock of all discourse? Is there room and even a role for uncivil discourse? What does our reaction to cyberbullying tell us about who we are and how we connect through talk?
