Thinking about Internet Policy

The Guardian is running an important series on Internet policy:
 
This is an excellent series of highly topical articles on the current state and possible future directions of the Internet. In-depth pieces cover such subjects as social media, privacy, Big Data, intellectual property and the political use of the Net by both governments and activists.
The week of articles has the following themes:
The New Cold War
The Militarisation of Cyberspace
The New Walled Gardens
IP Wars
'Civilising' the web
The Open Resistance
The End of Privacy
In addition, some key thinkers and innovators give new interviews or talks. These include:
Other special features are an interactive map of government interference with the Internet, and Tracking the Trackers, a crowd-sourcing project using data supplied by users to get a better idea of who is behind cookies and web trackers and just how ubiquitous they are.
