{"product_id":"virtual-freedom-9780804763851","title":"Virtual Freedom","description":"\u003cp\u003eCommunications giants like Google, Comcast, and AT\u0026amp;T enjoy increasingly unchecked control over speech. As providers of broadband access and Internet search engines, they can control online expression. Their online content restrictions—from obstructing e-mail to censoring cablecasts—are considered legal because of recent changes in free speech law. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Dawn Nunziato criticizes recent changes in free speech law in which only the government need refrain from censoring speech, while companies are permitted to self-regulate. By enabling Internet providers to exercise control over content, the Supreme Court and the FCC have failed to protect the public's right to access a broad diversity of content. Nunziato argues that regulation is necessary to ensure the free flow of information and to render the First Amendment meaningful in the twenty-first century. This book offers an urgent call to action, recommending immediate steps to preserve our free speech rights online.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dawn C.
