and PART 2
presented by newmatilda.com - a series of public forums about the internet regulation debate in Australia.
The Federal Government's proposal to block internet sites with a mandatory filter has drawn overwhelming opposition from voices across politics and civil society. So what are the real questions for policy-makers?
These forums explore the ethical, social and political questions raised by government regulation of the internet. With the growing intersection between technology, politics and media, how do existing and proposed classification regimes measure up?
Is filtering inevitable? Or are there better ways to regulate the world wide web?
SYDNEY EVENT SPEAKERS: Fiona Patten, Eros Association Geordie Guy, Electronic Frontiers Australia Kerry Graham, Inspire Foundation
These events are part of a series of forums. newmatilda.com will present an event in Adelaide in coming weeks. We held the first forum in Brisbane in late March.
