I am proposing the start of a new internet mailing list, called
|
|
Digital Anarchy. Briefly, the philosophy of digital anarchy is
|
|
that the beauty of the internet, usenet, and other forms of mass
|
|
telecommunications is total freedom and lawlessness that exists.
|
|
In fact, the internet is the only place in the U.S. where such a lack
|
|
of government intervention and censorship exits.
|
|
|
|
But how long will our freedom last? How long will it be until
|
|
the government decides to show its ugly head in cyberspace?
|
|
This mailing list will open to the discussion of the following
|
|
issues, and all related issues:
|
|
1) Usenet censorship (e.g. alt.sex.*)
|
|
2) monitoring of the Usenet by the government
|
|
3) monitoring of private e-mail by the police for suspicious or
|
|
illegal activity.
|
|
4) Should minors be allowed internet access?
|
|
5) What are the responsibilities involved in participating in the
|
|
usenet/internet culture?
|
|
|
|
The discussion is open to all; i.e. whether you are for or against
|
|
any of those five issues, or anything related, then your views
|
|
are more than welcome.
|
|
|
|
Also, I would like to post in the mailing list any news (current
|
|
events) from T.V., newspapers, or magazines related to this topic
|
|
that catches the eye of anyone who subscribes to this list.
|
|
This group will be unmoderated and uncensored. Members of the
|
|
government and police are also welcome to participate.
|
|
|
|
Please send all subscription requests to either
|
|
simitzis@ele.uri.edu
|
|
or
|
|
digianarch@aol.com
|
|
|
|
Thank you.
