GOVT-357 When Old Debates Were New Again: The Theoretical Origins of Internet Policy
This course offers a critical introduction to internet policy through the lens of political theory. It is organized around five main topics: “the wisdom of the multitude” (Jeremy Waldron), civil disobedience, speech, privacy, and surveillance. While technology is always changing, the guiding refrain for the course is that seemingly novel concerns can often be traced back to old debates.
