The Internet and Democracy - Evgeny Morozov, Jillian York, Deirdre Mulligan

Are the insurgencies spawned in the Arab Spring riding a wave borne by the internet, or are the new information technologies more likely to subvert those very movements? A discussion featuring Evgeny Morozov, an internet-savvy analyst of social protest and author of The Net Delusion, and Jillian York, who writes and speaks regularly about free expression, politics, and the internet, with a focus on the Arab world. Moderated by Deirdre Mulligan, professor of law at the UC Berkeley School of Information and a faculty director of the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology. Presented by Dissent, ISSI's Center for Research on Social Change, and CITRIS Data and Democracy Initiative
