Berkman Center Events & Webcasts

Access Denied: The Practice and Policy of Global Internet Filtering is now on bookshelves! To celebrate the release of the OpenNet Initiative’s new book, Berkman will host a release party on Friday March 14th at 6:30 PM at Harvard, and we welcome you to join us. This event follows the Journal of Law and Technology Symposium, which will feature a day of wonderful discussions.

Edited by the Principal Investigators of the OpenNet Initiative, Access Denied explores the landscape of censorship-oriented controls on Internet content, from the technology behind it to the policy that supports it and the social implications of it.

Access Denied documents the increasing fragmentation of the Net, to the detriment of all who value the free flow of information. “No one had a clear sense of the nature of Internet censorship until now. This extraordinary work maps the unfreedom of the Net. Unfortunately, that state is becoming the norm,” wrote Larry Lessig about the book.

We hope to see you on the 14th. In the meantime, keep an eye out for all of ONI’s continually updated research and insights.
