Pokazal je, da internet ne prinaša samo pozitivnih učinkov – da ni čudežno orožje za širjenje demokracije in rušenje diktatorjev, da osvobajanje podatkov še ne prinaša odgovornejše politike, da nas elektronsko druženje lahko tudi razdvaja in da se na družabnih omrežjih ne širi samo napredna politika, ampak tudi nacionalizem, rasizem, ksenofobija in režimska propaganda.

irst, research shows that social-networking sites are a serious risk when accessed at work.

Facebook at work". It may sound ridiculous, but the purpose is to ensure that employees are not putting their personal and corporate data out to tender.

he irony in all this is that Facebook - which in September 2007 overtook MySpace in Britain as the preferred site for individual users - was originally set up to mirror rather than overturn the "intimacy" and exclusiveness of real-world, face-to-face networks. Andrew McCollum, one of the founders of Facebook, explained to me that they based the project on a pretty closed community, namely university colleges.

"There are now signs that television news is increasingly vulnerable

But the larger story is the rise of the Web, which has surpassed newspapers and radio to become the second most popular source of news for Americans, after TV

An inquest heard last week that the gifted student had bought a drug over the internet that is used for lethal injections on America’s Death Row, and taken her own life.

What has been described by the coroner as a “matter of public concern”, though, is that she found a dark side of the internet that gave vent to such feelings, and offered tips on suicide and the drugs that would kill her.

Teenage party invitations now come with links to internet drugs sites.

SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, and PIPA, the Protect Intellectual Property Act, were meant to crack down on the illegal sharing of digital media. The bills were drafted on request of the content industry, Hollywood studios and major record labels. 

The US government says it must be able to fight against piracy and cyber attacks. And that means imposing more restrictions online. But proposed legislation could seriously curb freedom of speech and privacy, threatening the internet as we know it.

Can and should the internet be controlled? Who gets that power? How far will the US government go to gain power over the web? And will this mean the end of a free and global internet?

Cyber-terrorists targeted by government drone strikes, online identities, which are taken hostage and held for ransom, and parents, who explain online privacy to their children long before the subject of sex. That’s how Google’s boss sees the future.

ome hackers already take over a user's computer and encrypt its hard drive, locking them out.

By hacking more and more e-mail accounts, cyber-criminals expose the online life of others.

As European parliaments reject the Anti-Counterfeiting trade Agreement on human rights grounds, some are asking why it was signed in the first place.

The question is – why was the agreement signed in the first place, if its chances of being ratified are dropping by the day?

The pretext was the protection of intellectual property, and to control Internet resources that could be used by terrorists or to incite riots and other criminal activity.

Last week, Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt urged North Korean leaders to embrace the Internet. Only a small proportion of that country's 24 million people can access the World Wide Web, and the majority of the 1.5 million mobile phones there belong to political and military elites.

Meanwhile, in China, a country that has embraced the Internet to a much greater extent, the big story was about censorship, both online and off.

For Chinese social media users, the irony here was too perfect to go unnoticed

we as individuals are becoming far more efficient and productive by instantly connecting our thoughts to computers, servers, and databases all over the world.

the large complex system includes not only the Internet and the computers, but also us.

Indeed, many now spend so much time on their smartphones and other mobile Internet -- connected devices that oral conversation sometimes almost ceases.

Freedom of expression has long been regarded as one of the fundamental principles of modern democracies, in which civil liberties are honoured and regarded as a prerequisite for individual development and fulfilment.

It is this classic liberal argument that is still used by civil liberties' campaigners on the internet, like Hatewatch, which argues that those "hate speak" groups, such as neo-Nazis, must still speak freely, if only to expose and discredit themselves

It is not simply a case of "same old issue, new technology" with free speech and the internet. With its low start-up costs and global reach, the internet enables almost anyone in the West, in theory, to speak and be heard around the world, as well as hear others' speech.

The internet has always revolved around social networking, but the explosion of a fresh generation of communal sites such as MySpace, Bebo and Facebook is taking the phenomenon into new and unchartered territory.

One of those applications called iLike - pigging-backing on Facebook's global network - has already attracted more than 6 million members, and is growing by 1 million every few days, making it one of the fastest growing companies of any kind ever

A new generation accustomed to instant networking, and unashamed about living more of their lives online, is bound to change the organisations they work for and maybe the way they are governed, or at least the way their governments communicate with them

Web pages can include embedded links or ’hyperlinks’, so simply clicking the link will take you to that page. Following a trail of links is called ‘web surfing’.

The web is also traversed by ’spiders’ (or software robots) that follow links and collect information that can be used by search engines such as Google. Not all web users are human!

As websites are becoming more sophisticated than static pages, web developers are using many more versatile tools. These include CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), scripting languages such as JavaScript and PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor), and Adobe Flash.

When I joined, five years ago, it was because I wanted an easy way to check on whether my journalism students were correctly spelling the names of classmates they were quoting in their news stories. To this day, that's pretty much my peak Facebook experience.

Founded by Zuckerberg and several other Harvard students in 2003, the site laboured for several years behind MySpace, the social-networking phenomenon of mid-decade

Indeed, Zuckerberg himself gave away the game back in January, telling a live audience that if he had it to do over again, he never would have allowed users to keep their information private.
