Enter the front lines of both sides  in the war to control the Net. The U.S. Justice Department, the Christian Coalition and the Guardian Angels want to clean up the Net. ACLU attorneys, college activists and a raging band of rebels are trying to stop them. Who will win this epic battle, and what will the consequences be? From Charles Platt, one of the original online renegades and a contributing editor of Wired magazine, comes these two distinct "guides" --each with its own front cover -- to address both sides of these modern issues in one book. This authoritative look begins with the origins of Usenet and ends in a nightmarish future where the war on netporn has become as expensive and futile as the war on drugs. Along the way we meet dozens of other colorful personalities fighting to control the greatest mass medium since the printing press. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Like Bruce Sterling’s The Hacker Crackdown, this strips some of the myth and hysteria away from the dreaded hacker mystique. Platt also talks a little bit about cypherpunks and the satellite pirate underground. Half the book is devoted to “net sex” and challenges the notion that the Internet is rife with easily available porn. ( )
