Via one of my fellow SDP-ers, Becky Herr-Stephenson, I got the news that the Internet Safety Technical Task Force released their latest report “Enhancing Child Safety and Online Technologies”. Since I’m a bit in a hurry, I’m just gonna cite blatantly:

“…the Internet Safety Technical Task Force released the final report of the results of their work reviewing the risks that children and youth experience online, and evaluating different technical solutions for addressing these risks. The task force was led by John Palfrey at Harvard’s Berkman Center, working with Dena T. Sacco, danah boyd, Laura DeBonis, Jessica Tatlock, and a network of technology companies who have a stake in these issues”.

I’ll be back with comments.

Celebrating Creative Commons

I first found out about Creative Commons last summer, at the Oxford Internet Institute Summer Doctoral Programme 2007 hosted by the Berkman Center at Harvard Law (I guess I should have known earlier) and I instantly recognized a Cause. Ever since I became a silent supporter (the CC stickers purchased a couple of months ago are also perfectly silent).
So…belated birthday wishes for CC’s 6th anniversary and to supplement them, here’s the link to Larry Lessig’ s most recent book- Remix- that will be soon available under a CC license, along with previous works (Code, Free Culture).
