Chilling Effects Clearinghouse - 0 views

  •  
    "Chilling Effects aims to help you understand the protections that the First Amendment and intellectual property laws give to your online activities. We are excited about the new opportunities the Internet offers individuals to express their views, parody politicians, celebrate their favorite movie stars, or criticize businesses. But we've noticed that not everyone feels the same way. Anecdotal evidence suggests that some individuals and corporations are using intellectual property and other laws to silence other online users. Chilling Effects encourages respect for intellectual property law, while frowning on its misuse to "chill" legitimate activity. The website offers background material and explanations of the law for people whose websites deal with topics such as Fan Fiction, Copyright, Domain Names and Trademarks, Anonymous Speech, and Defamation."

Reading the Terms of Service for Educational Sites (Or Not) - 0 views

  •  
    Audrey Watters suggests this project should apply itself to education too. ""'I have read and agree to the Terms'" is the biggest lie on the web," insists a new project Terms of Service; Didn't Read. "We aim to fix that." A play on the Internet lingo "tl;dr" (too long; didn't read), the site reviews the Terms of Service agreements for major websites and applications. TOS;DR then rates the terms from good to bad, A to F, based on things like data portability, anonymity, cookies, data ownership, copyright, censorship, and transparency about law enforcement requests."
