Internet Access, Use, & Big Data
Title
Internet Access, Use, & Big Data
Description
This collection documents historical and ongoing interventions against Internet repression and foreclosure for economic gain. PIPA refers to the Protect IP Act, first introduced on May 12th, 2011. SOPA refers to the Stop Online Piracy Act, introduced on October 26th, 2011. Both acts aimed to allow the US government to expand its ability to identify and prosecute copyright infringement. Net Neutrality refers to ongoing battles that would compel Internet service providers to treat all data on the Internet equally. All other manifestos concern themselves with questions of democracy at the level of the state, thus aligning them with manifestos written against PIPA, SOPA, and Net Neutrality.
