In the last year ONI has studied forty countries and found a substantial increase in Internet censorship, colored by complex and dynamic political, legal and social processes. The research will be documented in the forthcoming MIT Press book: Access Denied: the Practice and Policy of Global Internet Filtering.

The OpenNet Initiative is a partnership between the Citizen Lab at the Munk Centre for International Studies, University of Toronto, the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School, the Advanced Network Research Group at the Cambridge Security Programme at Cambridge University, and the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford.

Ron Deibert, Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of the Citizen Lab at the Munk Centre for International Studies, University of Toronto. Prof. Deibert, who is also a principal investigator in the Open Net Initiative, discusses “Securing Human Rights Online: Addressing Long-term Problems of Sustainability, Coordination, and Resource.”

Stopbadware.org is a Neighborhood Watch campaign aimed at fighting badware – spyware and other programs that can damage an internet user’s computer and lower citizen confidence in the internet itself. The project’s goal is to provide reliable, objective information about downloadable applications in order to help consumers to make better choices about what they download. The StopBadware team tests and reports on websites and software suggested by the public, noting as badware those programs that engage in potentially objectionable behaviors without adequately informing the user and seeking their consent.

Christina Olson, Berkman Center fellow and the project manager for StopBadware, led the lunch discussion. She recently graduated cum laude from Harvard Law School, where she worked at the Harvard Journal of Law and Technology as editor-in-chief, technical editor, production editor, and line editor. Christina was joined by the StopBadware staff team.
