"The Delete Squad: Google, Twitter, Facebook and the new global battle
over the future of free speech"
http://j.mp/ZwjUDS (New Republic)
"As online communication proliferates-and the ethical and financial
costs of misjudgments rise-the Internet giants are grappling with the
challenge of enforcing their community guidelines for free speech.
Some Deciders see a solution in limiting the nuance involved in their
protocols, so that only truly dangerous content is removed from
circulation. But other parties have very different ideas about what's
best for the Web. Increasingly, some of the Deciders have become
convinced that the greatest threats to free speech during the next
decade will come not just from authoritarian countries like China,
Russia, and Iran, who practice political censorship and have been
pushing the United Nations to empower more of it, but also from a less
obvious place: European democracies contemplating broad new laws that
would require Internet companies to remove posts that offend the
dignity of an individual, group, or religion."
