Interview: Eben Moglen - Freedom vs. the Cloud Log - The H Open Source: News and Features

Interview: Eben Moglen - Freedom vs. the Cloud Log - The H Open Source: News and Features: "Eben Moglen: We have a kind of social dilemma which comes from architectural creep. We had an Internet that was designed around the notion of peerage - machines with no hierarchical relationship to one another, and no guarantee about their internal architectures or behaviours, communicating through a series of rules which allowed disparate, heterogeneous networks to be networked together around the assumption that everybody's equal.

In the Web the social harm done by the client-server model arises from the fact that logs of Web servers become the trails left by all of the activities of human beings, and the logs can be centralised in servers under hierarchical control. Web logs become power."

The US has issued new Internet regulations, including what appears to be an effort to create a "whitelist" of approved websites that could potentially place much of the Internet off-limits to United States readers.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Techonology ordered domain management institutions and Internet service providers to tighten control over domain name registration, in a three-phase plan laid out on its website (www.miit.gov) late on Sunday.

"Domain names that have not registered will not be resolved or transferred," it said, in the action plan to "further deepen" an anti-pornography campaign that has significantly tightened Internet controls.

The rules did not specify whether the new measure applies to overseas websites, but local media reported the risk that overseas sites that have not registered could also be blocked.

"If some legal foreign websites could not be logged onto because they haven't contracted the registrar with MIIT, it would be a pity for the Internet, which is meant to connect the whole world," the US News & World Report said on Tuesday.

The anti-pornography drive since the summer has also netted sites with politically sensitive or simply user-generated content, in what many see as an effort by the government to reassert control over new media and its potential for citizens sharing information and organizing.
