In their     words: The authors trace Internet use in eight authoritarian and     semi-authoritarian countries: China, Cuba, Singapore, Vietnam, Burma,     the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. They discover that     authoritarian governments, far from fearing the information age, have     chosen to direct Internet development in ways that bolster the state.     At the same time, many regimes are struggling to cope with the potent     challenges posed by new technologies. The authors encourage policy     makers in the U.S. and other industrialized democracies to promote     specific Internet-based initiatives that foster political     liberalization, rather than perpetuating the myth of the Internet as an     unstoppable "virus of freedom.""

Supreme Court Takes Nike Free Speech Case http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/11/1848248

    MacAndrew writes "The Supreme Court [0]has granted review in a case
[1]previously discussed here that could lead to a landmark decision
    regarding "commercial speech." The California Supreme Court had ruled     that Nike's statements denying the use of sweatshop labor in Asia could     be challenged under the state's strict truth in advertising laws, under     which truth is not a defense if a statement's context is deemed     misleading, First Amendment notwithstanding. The California court     essentially rejected Nike's claim to heightened political speech     protection -- which would have allowed the company to raise defenses of     truth and due care -- reasoning that Nike's statements were calculated     to induce product purchases and thus commercial speech. The U.S.     Supreme Court's consideration of this case provides a [2]clear     opportunity to reconsider the controversial political-commercial speech     dichotomy in constitutional law. It is essential to bear in mind the     question at this point is not whether Nike did anything wrong, rather     to determine the standards by which it will be judged. The commercial     speech question relates to many, many topics discussed here, such as
[3]telemarketer DNC lists, [4]telecom disclosure of customer calling
    data, [5]spam, [6]spam, and [7]spam." Links
