BKHAFGOI.RVW) tells what your (US) government can do for you. Casey's "The Hill on the Net" (cf. BKHILNET.RVW) is a kind of personal memoir of exploration of the use of technology among politicians. Browning here provides the basics, background and case studies for grassroots use of the net to affect and influence the political process. The first three chapters contain anecdotal accounts of specific political events that have been influenced by net-based activities. This is readable, interesting, and even informative, but many similar works go no further. Browning proceeds to advise on acceptable tactics on the net, as well as the potential downside to political use of the Internet. There is a brief look at some related technologies, and a set of resources (which the author admits are personally selected and not exhaustive).

I am sending this to myself and to a great many people using the blind cc feature of Netscape mail. You have my permission to repost to all relevant forums. Thank you, Bob Chatelle May 13, 1997 The Editor *The Boston Globe* POB 2378 Boston MA 02107-2378 Dear Editor: Words cannot express my horror on picking up the *Boston Globe* on May 6 to discover that -- using a few sentences from a 14,000 word essay ("The Limits to Free Expression and the Problem of Child Pornography"), ripped out of context to distort their meaning -- the *Globe* portrayed me as an advocate for sex between adults and children. The essay (whose focus is freedom of expression) has been sitting quietly on my web site for the past two years and has never heretofore provoked controversy. While it is appalling that such treatment be accorded any writer, it is especially troubling when the target of the smear happens to be gay. If we sexual-minority writers are courageous enough not to self-censor, our writings become especially vulnerable to malicious distortion -- especially if we venture too far outside our ghettoes. Cullen and Armstrong make the unsubstantiated statement that I have "argued against laws that establish an arbitrary age at which sex between adults and minors is legal." I do this nowhere in the cited essay or elsewhere. I had a long discussion with David Armstrong about age-of-consent laws when I returned his phone call late on May 5. While I pointed out serious problems with these laws, I also mentioned valid functions they might serve. I told Armstrong that I didn't have a well thought out position on age-of-consent laws because they are not, and have never been, one of my core concerns. I tackled the issue of child pornography in my essay because it is *the* most difficult free-speech issue, and one that most activists duck. One reason the issue is important is that all sorts of materials -- important works of art, innocent family photos -- now get conflated with child pornography. What makes the issue very difficult is that people compound legitimate concerns about protecting children with the illegitimate goal of suppressing ideas (including heinous ideas). Even unabashed child pornography contains ideas. (So does Nazi propaganda.) This doesn't mean I believe the ideas are good or that I agree with them. I might, for example, have said: "In Nazi propaganda, Jews are always portrayed as the cause of all of the world's problem. This is the idea that people wish to suppress." Such a remark could as easily be ripped out of context by someone wishing to portray me as an anti-Semite. The article states, "Chatelle praises the controversial group NAMBLA...because the group advocates for consensual sex between men and boys." This is quite simply a lie, unsupported by anything I have ever said or written. Had Cullen and Armstrong done their homework, they would have discovered that I am a nationally reputable advocate for freedom of expression. [Ironically, late in 1995 when Mr. Cullen was writing about a restrictive speech code proposed for the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, I was one of the people he interviewed.] I've been among the very few anti-censorship activists who have defended NAMBLA members' free-speech rights. I doubt very much that Cullen and Armstrong have interviewed NAMBLA spokespeople or read NAMBLA literature, but I have. Much of it -- and I never said *all* -- *is* "thoughtful, clearly reasoned, and provocative." So are most of the writings of William F. Buckley. That doesn't mean I agree with them. According to NAMBLA's literature, they advocate changing laws but never advise anyone to break them and also advise members of the dire consequences should they do so. Because of this, because they do emphasize the necessity of consent, and because pathology breeds in isolation, I don't think it's all that outrageous to suggest that the organization has prevented some sexual abuse. I have not responded until now because this week has been very emotionally difficult. Your article has robbed me of friends of many years standing. You may have impaired my ability to earn a living. And the damage to my good name can never be repaired. Moreover, because I recently brought to public attention what I consider a serious ethical breach on the part of a *Globe* employee, I have reason to believe I was maliciously smeared in retaliation. Many people are urging me to sue for libel and/or intentional infliction of emotional distress. I have made no final decision regarding legal action. Although the *Globe* has robbed me of friends, my reputation, and perhaps my ability to support myself, it has not taken away those things I value most: my truest friends, my 27-year partnership with Jim D'Entremont, my sobriety, and my principles. I have established myself as a principled defender of freedom of expression, and I promise that those principles will in no way be compromised by whatever action I may take against the Boston *Globe*. Sincerely, Robert B. Chatelle cc: Interested parties. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 May 1997 08:31:17 -0400 From: Jonathan Wallace Subject: File 3--Ethical Spectacle Mirrors Banned Canadian Site THE ETHICAL SPECTACLE MIRRORS BANNED CANADIAN WEB PAGE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 16, 1997 The Ethical Spectacle (http://www.spectacle.org) a US publication, has posted a copy of an anonymous Canadian Green Party campaign document which was forced off the World Wide Web by Canadian elections officials under a law banning anonymity in election campaigns. The document is available at http://www.spectacle.org/alert/green.html. The Spectacle is a monthly ezine, published only on the World Wide Web, covering the intersection or collision of ethics, law and politics in our society. It averages about 30,000 readers monthly and regularly covers free speech issues. It is published by Jonathan Wallace, a businessman, attorney and author residing in New York City, and is hosted on a server in the state of New Jersey. "I mirrored the Green Party document to illustrate the futility of the Canadian law," Wallace said. "The issue of anonymity in election campaigns was settled in the US in 1995, in a Supreme Court case called McIntyre v. Ohio. Mrs. McIntyre distributed anonymous leaflets criticizing the local school board and was fined $100. The court held that anonymity promotes diversity of political discourse. There is no difference between Mrs. McIntyre's leaflet and the Green Party Web page." While acknowledging that US laws and the First Amendment do not apply in Canada, Wallace pointed out that the converse is also true. "I have a right under US law to post the document, where it is easily available to Canadian readers. This illustrates that local laws banning anonymity or particular forms of speech are increasingly futile in the age of the World Wide Web." Electronic Frontiers Canada is considering legal action in Canada to test the government's action against the anonymous poster of the Web page. Ten other mirrors of the Green Party document have been posted in the US and other countries at EFC's request. For more information, see http://www.efc.ca. Wallace is the co-author of Sex, Laws and Cyberspace (Henry Holt, 1996), a book on Internet censorship (http://www.spectacle.org/freespch/), and was a plaintiff in ACLU v. Reno, the case which held the Communications Decency Act unconstitutional (http://www.spectacle.org/cda/cdamn.html).

"We understand that non-profit organizations certainly need to receive as much exposure as possible in their constant pursuit for funding and volunteers, and what better way to get your name out there than the Internet. Since our inception three years ago we have been very interested in supporting non-profit organizations," states Emanuel Kwahk, president and co-founder of Interport, "especially by offering creative payment plans and reduced fees for web site hosting." The Association to Benefit Children was founded in 1986 to fight against the numerous threats children face every day: poverty, homelessness, drug addiction and HIV. ABC has started and is currently maintaining several programs for children in the areas of education, health, housing, and employment. In order to keep these programs running smoothly ABC depends on donations and volunteers, and uses the Web to get local, national, and even world-wide exposure. "The Association To Benefit Children has had a wonderful experience with Interport. We now have a prominent presence on the Internet, comparable to what a major corporation has. Through a mutual relationship, benefiting both parties, Interport has unleashed the power of the Internet for our organization," states Sam Charap of ABC. The Association to Benefit Children has set up their Web Site to provide information about the various programs they sponsor, to find and sign up volunteers, and to have purchases made over the Internet. One of their most well known projects, Baked in the Hood, is an East Harlem bakery that is run by parents of homeless families. This very successful program gives the homeless an opportunity to learn job skills and to get work experience in baking, merchandising, and delivery. These gourmet baked goods are delivered all over the city, and you can even purchase a wide assortment of tarts, cakes, cookies and truffles online. Another program, the Variety Cody Gifford House for Children is a medical foster care program for placement of homeless children with handicaps and medical problems. One can find out about these and other programs they run by visiting their web site, and can request a copy of their annual report. Interport works with several other non-profit organizations including St. John the Divine Cathedral, the Art Director's Club, KidS' Space Organization, Amnesty International Publications, MOMA, UNICEF and Trinity Church. About Interport: Founded in 1994 to provide Internet connectivity to New York City, Interport has thrived by offering superior customer service, robust technology and comprehensive business services. It has more than 40 employees who work out of the company's Flatiron District offices. Interport was recently named "The Best Regional Internet Provider" in the Wall Street Journal's Smart Money magazine. They were also voted the best provider in New York by New York Magazine. While Interport has achieved its greatest recognition as the leading Metro New York Internet access provider, a significant portion of its business comes from the special services it offers businesses, non-profit organizations, government and educational institutions. Interport corporate clients include: U.S. Navy, BBDO Advertising, Butterball Turkey, Bacardi International Limited, CBS News, Edelman Public Relations, Frito-Lay, Hearst Publications, MetLife, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Radio City Music Hall, Miramax Films, New York Yankees, Sothebys and Amnesty International Publications.

Kadie" Subject: File 6--Why SUNY-Binghamton should stop censoring "mirrors" Source - fight-censorship@vorlon.mit.edu This is a new FAQ I've written for the Computers and Academic Freedom Archive. It will live at http://www.eff.org/CAF/faq/outside-content.html. Comments welcome. =============== =============== ftp://ftp.eff.org/pub/CAF/faq/outside-content =============== q: Should a university ban outside content from student web pages? a: No. For both legal and academic freedom reasons, it is unwise and perhaps illegal to censor outside material from student web pages. In this article, I first look at the legal issues, then I discusses the academic freedom issues.I look at the history of this issue first on the computer and then going back to McCarthy Era bans on outside speakers. [Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer.] Legally and academically, there is nothing wrong (in general) with a student putting up web material that someone else writes. I'm sure there are hundreds of student Shakespeare sites. They key is that the material is there at the pleasure of the student and that he or she could remove it anytime he or she wants. By analogy, the editor of a typical student newspaper doesn't write every word that appears in the paper, but all the articles appear at his or here pleasure. I only see problems if 1. The student is paid to put the material up. This would violate typical rules against selling university services or property without authorization. 2. The student gave out his or here account and password. This would violate typical rules against password sharing. 3. If the material is censored by law (e.g. something a local court has found to be obscene). The legal framework for this issue is the Supreme Court's Public Forum Doctrine. Among other things, its says that content-based prohibition must be narrowly drawn to effectuate a compelling state interest. For example, viewpoint-based discrimination is forbidden. The references include information about the public forum doctrine and on what letting student exercise free expression helps the University mission. Academically, outside material is important and legitimate. If I was still student, a university ban on outside HTML pages would have banned my Computers and Academic Freedom Web site. Why? Because my web site contains an archive of university policies. I don't reformat these. Why do I copy instead of just linking? 1. It enables searches across my collection 2. When a university changes their policy, it allows a word-for-word comparison between my version and the new version to see what was changed. I believe such archiving is very much in keeping with academic principles. According to the San Francisco Chronicle article and personal communications with the Chronicle reporter, SUNY-Binghamton allows outside text, but not full HTML pages. I believe that censorship of outside-created web pages is a return to McCarthy Era bans on outside speakers. Historically, I think SUNY-Binghamton has reinvented a censorship trick that I thought at died in with the McCarthy Era. In those days, Universities used arbitrary rules to restrict unpopular speakers from off-campus. At the U. of Illinois (my alma mater), for example, in 1958, an administrative order of the President set down rules for visiting speakers. The rules are prefaced with this: The University of Illinois Statutes (Section 39a) state, "It is the policy of the University to maintain and encourage full freedom within the law, of inquiry, discourse, teaching, research, and publication ..." Consistent with this policy the Senate Committee on Visiting Speakers will maintain the tradition of full freedom of discourse for visiting speakers within the limitations imposed by law, rules of the Board of Trustees, University regulations, and the welfare of the University. With classic doublethink, it then prohibited full discourse: 1. Subversive Organizations. The Illinois Statutes provide [...]: No Trustee, official, instructor, or other employee of the University of Illinois shall extend to any subversive, seditious, and un-American organization, or to its representatives, the use of any facilities of the University for the purpose of carrying on, advertising, or publicizing the activities of such organization." It also required that student organizations get approval before having in a visiting speaker. In 1961, the Trustees added this to the rules on visiting speakers: 2. Political Speakers. University building and grounds shall not be used for political purposes except for candidates for nomination or election to state-wide or national offices may appear in person to make political address. At the U. of Illinois and most other state universities, everything changed around 1971. At U. of Illinois the Chancellor approved the Statement on Individual Rights. It said in part: A. Discussion and expression of all views is permitted within the University subject only to requirements for the maintenance of order. [...] B. Members and organizations in the University community may invite and hear any persons of their own choosing, subject only to reasonable requirements on time, place, and manner for use of University facilities. These policies were generally modeled on "Joint Statement on Rights and Freedoms of Students", the statement of academic freedom for U.S. students. It was written in 1967 and has been endorsed by dozens of academic organizations. It says: 2. Students should be allowed to invite and to hear any person of their own choosing. Those routine procedures required by an institution before a guest speaker is invited to appear on campus should be designed only to insure that there is orderly scheduling of facilities and adequate preparation for the event, and that the occasion is conducted in a manner appropriate to an academic community. The institutional control of campus facilities should not be used as a device of censorship. It should be made clear to the academic and larger community that sponsorship of guest speakers does not necessarily imply approval or endorsement of the views expressed, either by the sponsoring group or the institution. == From ftp://ftp.eff.org/pub/CAF/academic/student.freedoms.aaup I suspect that SUNY-Binghamton does not even realize that it is falling back into the old patterns of university censorship. I hope it will reconsider its policy and I hope other universities will think careful and repeat history.
