Civil Liberties, Intellectual Freedom, and Privacy
Our CHAT date is tomorrow night, Sunday May 16 at 9 PM.
Do some prep work by looking at the American Library Association website. The American Library Association has deep-rooted principles in support of intellectual freedom. As the digital information age has developed many issues have had to be addressed in this new environment. This has brought about increased activity within the ALA Washington Office on legislative and regulatory/administrative proposals related to content controls and intellectual freedom.The primary area of concern has been filtering and the laws that have attempted to mandate federal filtering requirements. The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA); the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA); and the USA PATRIOT ACT of 2001 (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism)are some of the new laws. The USA PATRIOT Act broadly expands law enforcement's surveillance and investigative powers.
Go to our online class and in the Course Menu click Communicate! then click on Live Chat! Read the First Amendment quoted on the WebCT Chat page and below.Then click on Room 4 Intellectual Freedom. This chat dialog is logged and can be read later.

The Bill of Rights to the U.S. Constitution was ratified on December 15, 1791
How do you think this right relates to the Internet today, especially to recent laws and debates on Intellectual Freedom on the Internet? Enter the Chat!
