Stephanie commented on Valerie's blog post A NEW CYBER WEAPON: MINIDUKE
"Valerie, this does not come as a surprise, but is nonetheless worrying. The perception that staying away from .exe files is enough still lingers on. The fact that so much damage can take place without the user even realising is a concern. What…"

Stephanie commented on Mayengo Tom Kizito's blog post Is the problem Anonymity? Social networks and bad practices
"Personally, I see no problem with unmasking a perpetrator of a grave crime if the request is truly legitimate. My concern is with abuses of such requests, or in cases which breach a person's fundamental rights (ex free speech). Some cases are…"

Stephanie commented on Mayengo Tom Kizito's blog post Is the problem Anonymity? Social networks and bad practices
"Tom, I'm not sure anonymity is the problem. People know that if someone (including the authorities) wants to uncover the identity of an anonymous user, some companies are releasing the information. So in many cases, a user can be anonymous only…"

When the choice is withdrawn

It is ironic – to say the least – for participants of an annual IGF meeting to have limited Internet connection during an event dedicated to the Internet itself.

Perhaps it was not so bad after all. During workshops and main sessions, there were fewer ‘distractions’. We could not respond to e-mails, check out Facebook, or do any other unrelated task that depended on a stable connection. Whoever attended workshops could do nothing else but follow the discussion, take notes, or…

States concerns ‘legitimate’ – Special Rapporteur at #ws205 #IGF11

Internet policy issues: past, present and future



Will the cutting off of Internet access in Egypt affect the future of Internet governance and policy? Are you concerned about Internet governance in the aftermath of the WikiLeaks CableGate incident? Will guidelines and regulations  be affected? What do you think about the reactions of governments and private companies such as Amazon and PayPal to the WikiLeaks phenomenon?
