Towards an Internet Free of Censorship
|
| Proposals for Latin America |
| |
|
| |
 |
|
The global debate over Internet regulation has evolved from the initial question over whether any regulation is necessary and desirable to questions whose answers depend on context and where they are being asked. What activities require regulation? What type of regulation is preferable and effective, and with what outcome?
|
| |
In the past few years Latin American nations have begun legislation aimed at providing answers to some of these questions. The articles in this publication deal with four key themes – the responsibility of intermediaries, the management of private data, content filtering, and situations of applicable jurisdiction –, not with the idea of arriving at final solutions but rather with the intention of planting some of the legal questions inherent in these themes and promoting consideration of the effects that they could have on the politics of freedom of expression.
|
| |
Towards and Internet Free of Censorship intends to be a guide that will help academics, professionals and those charged with formulating public policy to think on these questions.

New working paper on the role of the press in promoting access to information
As the number of countries adopting access to information (ATI) legislation around the world has increased in recent years, it is important to understand the role that different stakeholders play in the adoption and implementation of this kind of legislation. This paper analyzes the relationship between ATI legislation and the media.
Focusing on the cases of Mexico and Argentina, while also looking at other experiences, this paper identifies the different ways in which media practitioners—including journalists, editors, owners, etc.—have engaged in the promotion, implementation and monitoring of access to information legislation.
This publication is one of the results of a study conducted by CELE with the support from the World Bank Institute.
