FULL TEXT: Hey, babes. This is just a short little announcement to update you on ephemera’s release schedule during this whole plague meets great depression thing. If you wanna pull your patreon pledges, I have no issues with that, but they are still going to the ephemera research slush fund. I’ve been researching and writing episodes and our boy Miguel has been editing them, but we both had COVID symptoms at some time in the last month or two - he lives in New York, my heart goes out to the guy - which obviously took some time. Miguel just sent me episode #18, and after I listen to it,...
info_outlineSplinternet is an irregular report from Ephemera. Once upon a time, we thought of the Internet as like the Wild West; anarchic and mostly empty. The dream of the World Wide Web was ‘all of the world’s knowledge, at all the world’s fingertips’. But this dream has failed to materialize. As Scott Malcomson says in his book ‘Splinternet’, from which I’ve taken the title of this series: “the Internet is cracking apart into discrete groups no longer willing, or able, to connect.”
This month, we’ll be looking at the regulatory approach of the European Union, which seeks to curtail and police the Internet, but in a way that defends the privacy and human rights of Internet users. This is quite different from authoritarian forms of policing the Net, and the EU are pioneers in uncharted territory on this. Are there problems with the EU’s approach to copyright and surveillance? Are they being adopted elsewhere? Will they work?
