In Silicon Values, leading campaigner Jillian York, looks at how our rights have become increasingly undermined by the major corporations desire to harvest our personal data and turn it into profit.She also looks at how governments have used the same technology to monitor citizens and threatened our ability to communicate. As a result our daily lives, and private thoughts, are being policed in BOOKS – JILLIAN C. YORK Human Rights in the Age of Platforms. From my chapter: “As we head toward a more complex future, it is necessary that approaches to content control—both soft and hard—recognize that moderation is a major function of successful social media platforms, and that efforts from human beings will be essential, likely in cooperation withalgorithms.

NOSTALGIA FOR SOMETHING YOU’VE NEVER HAD… I still wake up most mornings full of the buzz most people only feel on the first day of school. I wake up each day knowing that anything can happen. And yet they are yearnings and with yearning comes sadness. Just as I was titillated as a child to think that celebrities were doing something at the exact same time as me, now I am spun into THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION OF THOMAS FRIEDMAN TAKEDOWNS Original List: Matt Taibbi’s seminal takedown, “ Flathead”. It has style, it has pizzazz, it has the sentence “On an ideological level, Friedman’s new book is the worst, most boring kind of middlebrow horseshit.”. It is a classic work of art, and Taibbi’s writing, the anti-Friedman. ON FACEBOOK DEACTIVATIONS April 8, 2010. 92 Comments. on On Facebook Deactivations. Update/note: Since writing this a few hours ago, I’ve been flooded by e-mails from Facebook users who have also experienced this. Those users include gay rights activists, Jewish activists, activists for a free Palestine, and activists against the Venezuelan regime (among others). WHAT IS IT ABOUT TODAY’S 20-SOMETHINGS? A week ago, the New York Times (that paper I love to hate) ran a rather interesting 10-pager entitled “What Is It About 20-Somethings? ” The author, Robin Marantz Henig draws on a few examples from real life and pop culture–young people trying to make a living from blogging, haha, remaining “untethered to permanent homes”–to set up a premise that twentysomethings are taking too WHY I DON’T BELIEVE IN “NET FREEDOM” on Why I Don’t Believe in “Net Freedom”. For the past two weeks, Tunisia has been racked with unrest following the December 17 self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi, a young, educated vendor whose produce stand was confiscated because Bouazizi failed to show a permit.

JUNE 2011 – JILLIAN C. YORK This morning, not an hour after tweeting my excitement, I received a surprise in my inbox: an invite to Google+.

“HER PERSONAL CONVERSATIONS AND INTERACTIONS WITH ACTIVISTS – AND, INTERESTINGLY, SOME OF THE WELL-INTENTIONED PEOPLE WORKING EARLY ON FOR THE SOCIAL NETWORKS – PROVIDE THE KIND OF AUTHENTIC, GROUNDED FOUNDATION FOR HER BROADER ARGUMENTS THAT IS INEVITABLY ABSENT FROM MUCH ACADEMIC WORK.” – Karlin Lillington, _Irish Times_
“AN INCISIVE AND COMPELLING READ THAT PLACES SILICON VALLEY’S PLATFORMS AND POLICIES IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT. YORK KNOWS THIS TERRAIN INTIMATELY, AND SHE TAKES US TO THE KEY BATTLEGROUNDS THAT HAVE SHAPED CONTENT MODERATION, INTERNET GOVERNANCE, AND THE POLITICAL ECONOMIES OF ONLINE EXPRESSION.” – Kate Crawford, author of _Atlas of AI_ “JILLIAN YORK PROVIDES AN INSIGHTFUL NARRATIVE INTO THE HAPHAZARD METHODS BY WHICH THE MAJOR SOCIAL TECH COMPANIES HAVE CONSTRUCTED THEIR MODERATION POLICIES OVER THE YEARS SINCE THEIR FOUNDING..”– Nicole Barbaro
“FOR YEARS, JILLIAN YORK HAS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF DEFENDING FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION ONLINE. HER NEW BOOK UNPACKS HOW SILICON VALLEY CORPORATIONS HAVE GAINED MORE CONTROL OVER SPEECH THAN THE MOST AMBITIOUS OF GOVERNMENTS AND HOW ILL PREPARED THEY OFTEN ARE TO USE THAT POWER IN WAYS THAT ARE JUST AND FAIR. ENTERTAIN- ING, DEEPLY INFORMATIVE AND OFTEN VERY PERSONAL, JILLIAN’S JOURNEY INTO THE WORLD OF ONLINE SPEECH REFLECTS ON DEEP QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW WE SHOULD TREAT ONE ANOTHER AND WHO MAKES THE RULES FOR SOCIETIES IN OUR DIGITALWORLD.”
– Ethan Zuckerman, Associate Professor at UMass Amherst and Cofounder of Global Voices “A PERSONAL, RELEVANT, AND ACCESSIBLE REFLECTION ON HOW OUR WORLD HAS BECOME GOVERNED BY SILICON VALLEY. YORK TAKES US ON AN ENJOYABLE JOURNEY FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO TUNIS TO CAIRO TO BERLIN TO TRACE THE CHANGE FROM THE EARLY BELIEF IN MAXIMIZING FREE SPEECH SHARED BY THE BIG TECH PLATFORMS AND THE PEOPLE ALIKE TO THE POLICIES OF SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL EXERCISED BY THE PLATFORMS (AND ENCOURAGED BY MOST GOVERNMENTS) THAT MAKE THE STRUGGLE FOR FREE EXPRESSION A MUCH MORE DEMANDING BATTLE.” – Rasha Abdulla, author of _The Internet in the Arab World_ “A PERSONAL, RELEVANT, AND ACCESSIBLE REFLECTION ON HOW OUR WORLD HAS BECOME GOVERNED BY SILICON VALLEY. YORK TAKES US ON AN ENJOYABLE JOURNEY FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO TUNIS TO CAIRO TO BERLIN TO TRACE THE CHANGE FROM THE EARLY BELIEF IN MAXIMIZING FREE SPEECH SHARED BY THE BIG TECH PLATFORMS AND THE PEOPLE ALIKE TO THE POLICIES OF SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL EXERCISED BY THE PLATFORMS (AND ENCOURAGED BY MOST GOVERNMENTS) THAT MAKE THE STRUGGLE FOR FREE EXPRESSION A MUCH MORE DEMANDING BATTLE.” – Rasha Abdulla, author of _The Internet in the Arab World_ “IN SILICON VALUES, YORK LOOKS AT HOW OUR DIGITAL RIGHTS ARE UNDERMINED BY CORPORATIONS AND PLATFORMS THAT HAVE MORE ACCESS TO OUR PERSONAL DETAILS THAN ANY STATE IN ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY. THROUGH THE BOOK, SHE ARGUES FOR MORE PROTECTION OF CITIZENS AGAINST THE HARVEST OF OUR MOST PRECIOUS COMMODITY: OUR PERSONAL DATA. IT’S A HEAVY BUT INSIGHTFUL READ, AND WILL PROBABLY MAKE YOU THINK TWICE ABOUT SKIPPING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ON THE SITES YOU USE.”– Sam Vassallo
“THIS PRACTICAL WORK CASTS A WIDE-ENOUGH NET OVER RELEVANT TOPICS AND EXAMPLES TO BE RICHLY INFORMATIVE, WHILE STILL MANAGING TO BE STRAIGHTFORWARD IN ITS STYLE. YORK OFFERS A SOLID ENTRY POINT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING ONGOING ISSUES RELATING TO THE INTERSECTION OF POLITICS AND TECHNOLOGY.”– Library Journal
“THE INTERNET HAS NEVER BEEN THE UTOPIA OF FREE AND EQUAL EXPRESSION ITS IDEOLOGUES WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE IT IS. JILLIAN YORK’S VIVID REPORTAGE SHOWS US THAT THE POWER TO DETERMINE WHO GETS TO USE IT TO SPEAK, AND UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES, IS NOW MORE CONCENTRATED—AND LESS ACCOUNTABLE—THAN EVER BEFORE.” – Adam Greenfield, author of _Radical Technologies_ WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF SURVEILLANCE CAPITALISM ON OUR RIGHT TO FREESPEECH?
The Internet once promised to be a place of extraordinary freedom beyond the control of money or politics, but today corporations and platforms exercise more control over our ability to access information and share knowledge to a greater extent than any state. From the online calls to arms in the thick of the Arab Spring to the contemporary front line of misinformation, Jillian York charts the war over our digital rights. She looks at both how the big corporations have become unaccountable censors, and the devastating impact it has had on those who have been censored. In _Silicon Values_, leading campaigner Jillian York, looks at how our rights have become increasingly undermined by the major corporations desire to harvest our personal data and turn it into profit. She also looks at how governments have used the same technology to monitor citizens and threatened our ability to communicate. As a result our daily lives, and private thoughts, are being policed in an unprecedented manner. Who decides the difference between political debate and hate speech? How does this impact on our identity, our ability to create communities and to protest? Who regulates the censors? In response to this threat to our democracy, York proposes a user-powered movement against the platforms that demands change and a new form of ownershipover our own data.
