Walt Mossberg – For iPad and Mobile Devices, a “Port” out of the Norm
In 2006, Thailand announced it was blocking access to YouTube for anyone with a Thai I.P. address, and then identified 20 offensive videos for Google to remove as a condition of unblocking the site. “If your whole game is to increase market share,” says Lawrence Lessig, speaking of Google, “it’s hard to…gather data in ways that don’t raise privacy concerns or in ways that might help repressive governments to block controversial content.”
This is a section of the AllThingsD Web site featuring posts that have been curated from around the Web: pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Five posts are included here each weekday, but only the headline and the first two sentences. We link to the original site for the rest. The section is explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that content comes “from other Web sites.”
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions. Voices is edited by Beth Callaghan.
