Abstract

Griffiths exposes the world's biggest and most sophisticated system of internet censorship. He describes how China did the impossible and built a controlled, warped version of the internet. Griffiths also explains how the vision of the web as a force for democracy and freedom failed, and the censors, far from retreating, are on the advance.

Abstract

Cette enquête porte sur la censure du cinéma autour de 1968. Son enjeu principal est de saisir la fabrication d'un ordre étatique des films, à la fois moral, politique et artistique, et sa recomposition dans une conjoncture critique. L'intérêt de cet ouvrage est d'abord empirique : il apporte de nouvelles connaissances historiques sur la censure du cinéma dans les années 1960-1970 : ses discours, pratiques, représentations et les conflits dont elle est l'enjeu (par exemple, l'affaire de « La Religieuse »). De plus, cet ouvrage détient son originalité par sa boite à outils théoriques, qui lui permet de questionner à nouveau frais de grandes questions des sciences humaines relatives à l'État, à l'art et à la dynamique des mœurs contemporaines.

Abstract

An eye-opening look at the invisible workers who protect us from seeing humanity’s worst on today’s commercial internet Social media on the internet can be a nightmarish place. A primary shield against hateful language, violent videos, and online cruelty uploaded by users is not an algorithm. It is people. Mostly invisible by design, more than 100,000 commercial content moderators evaluate posts on mainstream social media platforms: enforcing internal policies, training artificial intelligence systems, and actively screening and removing offensive material —sometimes thousands of items per day. Sarah T. Roberts, an award-winning social media scholar, offers the first extensive ethnographic study of the commercial content moderation industry. Based on interviews with workers from Silicon Valley to the Philippines, at boutique firms and at major social media companies, she contextualizes this hidden industry and examines the emotional toll it takes on its workers. This revealing investigation of the people “behind the screen” offers insights into not only the reality of our commercial internet but the future of globalized labor in the digital age

Abstract

Practicing Intellectual Freedom in Libraries is helpful for a wide range of people, from those only starting to learn about intellectual freedom to those more well-versed in the subject. For novices, it offers a solid introduction to intellectual freedom, grounded theoretically and empiraccly; for more experienced scholars and librarians, it provides a uniquely comprehensive analysis of theoretical freedom. -- This book relies on research and practical real-world scenarios to help librarians conceptualize and contextualize the idea of intellectual freedom. Real-world scenarios provide a timely look at intellectual freedom in context, discussing Internet filtering, collection development and weeding, meeting rooms and exhibit spaces, programming, and fake news and misinformation.

Abstract

The Indecent Screen explores clashes over indecency in broadcast television among U.S.-based media advocates, television professionals, the Federal Communications Commission, and TV audiences. Cynthia Chris focuses on the decency debates during an approximately twenty-year period since the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which in many ways restructured the media environment. Simultaneously, ever increasing channel capacity, new forms of distribution, and time-shifting (in the form of streaming and on-demand viewing options) radically changed how, when, and what we watch. But instead of these innovations quelling concerns that TV networks were too often transmitting indecent material that was accessible to children, complaints about indecency skyrocketed soon after the turn of the century. Chris demonstrates that these clashes are significant battles over the role of family, the role of government, and the value of free speech in our lives, arguing that an uncensored media is so imperative to the public good that we can, and must, endure the occasional indecent screen.
