Pretty exciting. That was on Wednesday. 6 00:00:20,050 --> 00:00:23,400 We've got a really all-star lineup of guests 7 00:00:23,399 --> 00:00:26,939 on today's program. 8 00:00:26,939 --> 00:00:30,140 Moving from left to right we have 9 00:00:30,140 --> 00:00:35,179 Alan Emtage, a very special guest who is 10 00:00:35,179 --> 00:00:38,469 gonna talk to us about his 11 00:00:38,469 --> 00:00:41,698 very special creation of 12 00:00:41,698 --> 00:00:44,719 the first web browser. 13 00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:49,489 We have Jeremy Clark in Montreal. Jeremy is a technical director at Global Voices. 14 00:00:49,488 --> 00:00:52,718 Josh Levy from Free Press 15 00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:56,480 in Massachusetts in the U.S., and Renata Avila, 16 00:00:56,479 --> 00:00:59,959 campaign manager for The Web We Want 17 00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:03,710 Creative Commons extraordinaire, and 18 00:01:03,710 --> 00:01:07,939 [?] Starr who is joining us from Berlin. Welcome, everybody! 19 00:01:07,939 --> 00:01:11,170 So we wanna just start today's 20 00:01:11,170 --> 00:01:14,359 show by talking a little bit about 21 00:01:14,359 --> 00:01:21,310 the World Wide Web and the Internet, 'cause a lot of people think that they're the same thing 22 00:01:22,739 --> 00:01:26,559 when actually that's not quite true 23 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,079 wanna first turn to Jeremy I'm 24 00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:33,590 and just ask chair could you break it down for us 25 00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:37,310 like I thought that the internet was invented in the seventies but 26 00:01:37,310 --> 00:01:40,960 if it's the 25th birthday have the weapons 27 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,169 what does that mean okay 28 00:01:44,170 --> 00:01:47,650 well the best place to start I think is 29 00:01:47,650 --> 00:01:52,770 the internet who has existed in various formats 30 00:01:52,769 --> 00:01:58,140 since the 1970s as he say up but it was the web that made it really enter our 31 00:01:58,140 --> 00:01:58,780 homes 32 00:01:58,780 --> 00:02:02,250 and so understanding the relationship is important 33 00:02:02,250 --> 00:02:07,459 so the internet was invented by the US government in a lot of sense is 34 00:02:07,459 --> 00:02:12,098 a mix of military in science funding I that developed the network at the actual 35 00:02:12,098 --> 00:02:13,078 computers 36 00:02:13,079 --> 00:02:16,099 that can communicate with each other over wires 37 00:02:16,098 --> 00:02:20,818 arm now another related technology that is 38 00:02:20,818 --> 00:02:23,828 also comprise that built into the bad 39 00:02:23,829 --> 00:02:27,090 is called hypertext and that is the notion 40 00:02:27,090 --> 00:02:32,468 out documents that can link between each other immediately 41 00:02:32,468 --> 00:02:36,150 without having I to go and fetch a separate document 42 00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:39,569 arm so there were lots of system since the nineteen sixties 43 00:02:39,568 --> 00:02:43,149 that we're trying to implement hypertext like that to do with an example 44 00:02:43,150 --> 00:02:46,959 up but all of them where commercial expensive closed 45 00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:50,829 and none of them were very popular so Tim berners-lee 46 00:02:50,829 --> 00:02:54,530 who is the inventor of the Internet I I 47 00:02:54,530 --> 00:02:57,530 though web obviously the World Wide Web arm 48 00:02:57,530 --> 00:03:01,590 put those two things together by building a service that runs 49 00:03:01,590 --> 00:03:05,530 on top of the Internet and he called it the World Wide Web 50 00:03:05,530 --> 00:03:08,748 soul what the World Wide Web is is 51 00:03:08,748 --> 00:03:12,150 be decentralized hypertext I 52 00:03:12,150 --> 00:03:15,938 engine that we used I to communicate between 53 00:03:15,938 --> 00:03:19,120 computers our web pages so 54 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,819 what makes up web is three things 55 00:03:22,818 --> 00:03:26,998 URL's or you our eyes universal Resource Locator 56 00:03:26,998 --> 00:03:30,180 which are the addresses we use to find things on the web 57 00:03:30,180 --> 00:03:34,639 Bob HTML which is the Hypertext Markup Language 58 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,010 I which is the way that be information is stored and sent 59 00:03:39,009 --> 00:03:42,039 so that we can then used browsers to 60 00:03:42,039 --> 00:03:45,669 view HTML and then all the documents 61 00:03:45,669 --> 00:03:48,828 can be understood and then also 62 00:03:48,829 --> 00:03:52,340 they display the links so that the Hypertext part if it works and we can 63 00:03:52,340 --> 00:03:53,900 jump around from page to page 64 00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:59,438 I'm the final part is HTTP which is the Hypertext Transfer Protocol 65 00:03:59,438 --> 00:04:03,968 which is the communication method by which the different computers 66 00:04:03,968 --> 00:04:07,378 can talk to each other and send be 67 00:04:07,378 --> 00:04:11,209 I HTML documents back and forth depending on the URL's 68 00:04:11,209 --> 00:04:16,608 arm so when he built it there were some very important things that he built into 69 00:04:16,608 --> 00:04:17,449 this system 70 00:04:17,449 --> 00:04:21,120 that didn't exist before and the main one is 71 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,319 universal of worship so he always intended 72 00:04:24,319 --> 00:04:28,920 that anyone would be able to access these web pages 73 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,379 and anyone would be able to add their own web pages without asking for 74 00:04:32,379 --> 00:04:33,399 permission 75 00:04:33,399 --> 00:04:38,250 I with the X very explicit special condition that anyone can link to any 76 00:04:38,250 --> 00:04:39,439 other web page 77 00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:42,779 without permission previous hypertext systems 78 00:04:42,779 --> 00:04:47,939 required that basically for you to link to me I have to accept that link can 79 00:04:47,939 --> 00:04:50,069 probably create a link back to you 80 00:04:50,069 --> 00:04:53,319 and that was the required on the web which gives us a lot of freedom to make 81 00:04:53,319 --> 00:04:55,699 the people we who wit wouldn't want us 82 00:04:55,699 --> 00:04:59,389 to be able to link them for example so no one can say I'm putting up tree 83 00:04:59,389 --> 00:05:00,649 content but you 84 00:05:00,649 --> 00:05:04,089 can't send your readers here because I hate you et cetera 85 00:05:04,089 --> 00:05:07,689 are the other one is that you made it completely completely 3 86 00:05:07,689 --> 00:05:11,689 so in the world a mentor in world them programming 87 00:05:11,689 --> 00:05:14,800 the most free thing is generally considered to be the GPL 88 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,720 open source free software licenses and Tim berners-lee actually almost use the 89 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,990 GPL because he wanted that what web software he was building to be free 90 00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:28,180 but at the last minute yes he changed his mind made it call public domain 91 00:05:28,180 --> 00:05:32,170 because in certain ways the GPL is actually more respect 92 00:05:32,170 --> 00:05:35,449 restrictive because it forces other people like certain commercial actors 93 00:05:35,449 --> 00:05:37,060 wouldn't have wanted to use 94 00:05:37,060 --> 00:05:41,430 web technology if it were GPL so he made a full public domain 95 00:05:41,430 --> 00:05:44,750 and then from there when I'm to make all of the standard size 96 00:05:44,750 --> 00:05:48,810 open and I general and three as possible 97 00:05:48,810 --> 00:05:52,740 are so that's my extremely brief history internet if anyone is curious 98 00:05:52,740 --> 00:05:56,819 he wrote a wonderful book called weaving the web about his experiences 99 00:05:56,819 --> 00:06:00,279 as you can see its short and he 100 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,549 highlighted interesting technical information in it without 101 00:06:03,550 --> 00:06:07,680 I'll it being overwhelming it's very approachable and he's a really 102 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,480 interesting person ended the book is much better than his tweets which are 103 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:10,890 usually 104 00:06:10,889 --> 00:06:15,279 in procuring all 105 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,939 crowded thank coach that's great chair 106 00:06:18,939 --> 00:06:22,629 I mean I think that that helps on in conversations about 107 00:06:22,629 --> 00:06:26,560 internet policy in Internet governance there's a lot of emphasis 108 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,829 on the ability to kinda creepy 109 00:06:29,829 --> 00:06:33,639 innovate without permission like for everybody to 110 00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:37,419 be able to build parks a the web and 111 00:06:37,420 --> 00:06:41,680 and what you just laid out for us makes it clear how important 112 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,030 a web peace up the infrastructure is for that 113 00:06:46,029 --> 00:06:50,929 for that capacity to become a real tangible thing and somebody that 114 00:06:50,930 --> 00:06:54,480 something that now we can do you know we don't have to have 115 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,850 technical expertise to kindness build our own 116 00:06:57,850 --> 00:07:02,120 our own spaces there I'm so I'm 117 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,160 if I can add just one more thing sorry I as want to give a couple examples the 118 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,540 things that happen over the internet that arent to bad 119 00:07:08,540 --> 00:07:11,629 because that was the actual I miss a question so 120 00:07:11,629 --> 00:07:15,920 one example would be torrents where York the cookie to computers connect to each 121 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:16,509 other 122 00:07:16,509 --> 00:07:20,279 and stream information directly without any URL's 123 00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:24,289 being mixed into the process I'm another one is email at its core 124 00:07:24,290 --> 00:07:28,120 is its own communication protocol that doesn't have to use the web although we 125 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:28,860 often use 126 00:07:28,860 --> 00:07:31,980 web sites to access and manage our now 127 00:07:31,980 --> 00:07:35,680 arm and then another one was the one right before the web came out 128 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,110 them a very popular protocol was called go for which 129 00:07:39,110 --> 00:07:42,810 people liked and sort it worked like the where'd you just surf around and find 130 00:07:42,810 --> 00:07:43,439 things 131 00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:47,259 but it actually became commercial right around the time 132 00:07:47,259 --> 00:07:50,539 that the web came out so people have would have had to start paying and 133 00:07:50,540 --> 00:07:51,840 instead of having to pay 134 00:07:51,839 --> 00:07:56,519 they switched to using HTTP a shemale and the world but 135 00:07:56,519 --> 00:08:00,209 thank you so I want to move to Alan now 136 00:08:00,209 --> 00:08:04,120 I'm how I couldn't bill the first 137 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,709 search engine 138 00:08:05,709 --> 00:08:09,039 and I'm kinda like 139 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,020 overwhelmed and feel sort of like giddy and nervous 140 00:08:13,019 --> 00:08:16,659 having apparently speaker her big deal 141 00:08:16,660 --> 00:08:20,090 I'm salome just I 142 00:08:20,089 --> 00:08:24,750 you could tell us cuz I think a lot of people don't know about archie 143 00:08:24,750 --> 00:08:28,269 on it would be really cool just to hear about 144 00:08:28,269 --> 00:08:33,629 E all you sir what you were doing that made you decide 145 00:08:33,629 --> 00:08:38,188 should to do this and kinda what it was like and then 146 00:08:38,190 --> 00:08:41,289 mean everything you've seen sense unfortunately 147 00:08:41,288 --> 00:08:44,929 where time limited but welcome you know therapy 148 00:08:44,929 --> 00:08:48,778 well arm I well that was lacking that 149 00:08:48,778 --> 00:08:52,958 19 I 89 and 150 00:08:52,958 --> 00:08:58,619 a I was working out as a system and mentorship therefore I am getting worse 151 00:08:58,620 --> 00:08:59,789 there's no cracks chips 152 00:08:59,789 --> 00:09:04,079 McGill University and I'm I A 153 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,459 was responsible for getting all software for one on my responsibilities 154 00:09:08,458 --> 00:09:11,958 getting software for the faculty and the students 155 00:09:11,958 --> 00:09:16,989 are and at that time there it three major protocols on the internet this is 156 00:09:16,990 --> 00:09:17,769 pretty where 157 00:09:17,769 --> 00:09:21,110 I'll was I world's 158 00:09:21,110 --> 00:09:25,039 telnet which would allow you to log into a remote machine 159 00:09:25,039 --> 00:09:28,689 email I which allow you to communicate 160 00:09:28,690 --> 00:09:31,920 I with one what we do know 10 161 00:09:31,919 --> 00:09:35,528 me more machines your and 162 00:09:35,528 --> 00:09:39,278 FTP which was the File Transfer Protocol which allowed you to move 163 00:09:39,278 --> 00:09:42,870 Wow data files or file was from one which 164 00:09:42,870 --> 00:09:45,919 one sheet to another and at the time what we had was 165 00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:50,429 people had me it remember it was a non commercial Internet 166 00:09:50,429 --> 00:09:53,939 time actually commercial traffic was forbidden on the Internet 167 00:09:53,940 --> 00:09:57,220 time because it was run by the National Science Foundation 168 00:09:57,220 --> 00:10:00,330 was using educational money and therefore 169 00:10:00,330 --> 00:10:04,690 other than companies with research arms like ID and I'll 170 00:10:04,690 --> 00:10:08,400 and HD and those kinds of things we didn't have any commercial traffic on 171 00:10:08,399 --> 00:10:09,519 the Internet which 172 00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:12,829 why would a seems kinda amazing to even think about 173 00:10:12,830 --> 00:10:16,778 and I so what people who did 174 00:10:16,778 --> 00:10:20,970 were out to provide are three states on your machine 175 00:10:20,970 --> 00:10:24,430 remember you know at the time a big a big 176 00:10:24,429 --> 00:10:28,969 this will be a megabyte you know I'll and so people would provide 177 00:10:28,970 --> 00:10:32,060 common a or depositary still 178 00:10:32,059 --> 00:10:35,549 that that you could deposit I'm 179 00:10:35,549 --> 00:10:39,639 programs that you had written and I'll data files 180 00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:43,899 and documents back in stock into the central repositories 181 00:10:43,899 --> 00:10:47,299 that will spread around the internet that other people can then 182 00:10:47,299 --> 00:10:52,000 you cheaper and so I spend a lot of my time trying to locate software 183 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,879 or the information that means that students in the Faculty are trying to 184 00:10:55,879 --> 00:10:56,399 find 185 00:10:56,399 --> 00:10:59,419 and I got tired and since I'm easy and the geek 186 00:10:59,419 --> 00:11:03,049 I A arm I A I 187 00:11:03,049 --> 00:11:06,969 automated the process a got instead of doing it manually 188 00:11:06,970 --> 00:11:10,450 I had a bunch in scripts wake up in the middle of the night every night 189 00:11:10,450 --> 00:11:14,079 and go all index these files 190 00:11:14,078 --> 00:11:17,909 now remember all of this was just file listings it's not like we will it's not 191 00:11:17,909 --> 00:11:18,528 like a 192 00:11:18,528 --> 00:11:21,980 I'll search engine will be today I if yes 193 00:11:21,980 --> 00:11:25,519 just I just found it's all it was bonds 194 00:11:25,519 -->

come up with a name for it and I said okay well let's just call it 216 00:12:46,708 --> 00:12:51,708 archie which is our client without be and dad are 217 00:12:51,708 --> 00:12:54,828 and with a no vote so out both here for months 218 00:12:54,828 --> 00:12:59,539 we were consuming what's happened all high quality traffic to Eastern Canada 219 00:12:59,539 --> 00:13:04,259 on as this search engine became his people 220 00:13:04,259 --> 00:13:08,188 you know work now I you you know people who know RGR 221 00:13:08,188 --> 00:13:12,969 generally people up a certain age I won't mention what what ages but 222 00:13:12,970 --> 00:13:17,889 and it's generally people who were in university or working 223 00:13:17,889 --> 00:13:22,019 on the internet so it would have been researched people people in academia 224 00:13:22,019 --> 00:13:25,490 I in the early 90s orgiastic for 225 00:13:25,490 --> 00:13:28,779 about I am a.m. 226 00:13:28,779 --> 00:13:32,230 five years for five years %uh and 227 00:13:32,230 --> 00:13:35,409 only in next st PE archives it never 228 00:13:35,409 --> 00:13:38,769 I'll index where now I went on 229 00:13:38,769 --> 00:13:43,799 as or TJ popular and I got one ball in the standards policies not gonna stop I 230 00:13:43,799 --> 00:13:44,529 worked 231 00:13:44,529 --> 00:13:48,250 of very closely with Tim berners-lee to I am 232 00:13:48,250 --> 00:13:51,429 to standardize for example I did the and Graham 233 00:13:51,429 --> 00:13:55,669 media the standard-setting body to the Internet DCI 88 234 00:13:55,669 --> 00:13:59,088 I to standardize URL's because 235 00:13:59,089 --> 00:14:02,760 10 had come up with a set of above rules the world and the 236 00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:05,779 as me looked at expanding that's larger range 237 00:14:05,779 --> 00:14:09,519 out %uh resources we realize that what rules did not 238 00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:12,649 on a ver all cases so we worked 239 00:14:12,649 --> 00:14:17,470 for our 10 brought that specification his original specification to the 240 00:14:17,470 --> 00:14:21,160 to group and we worked on it for I don't remember 241 00:14:21,159 --> 00:14:25,049 might not see a year or so it come up with a standard for you or else so all 242 00:14:25,049 --> 00:14:26,929 of those you're also use 243 00:14:26,929 --> 00:14:30,279 day in and day out world were standardized as a result 244 00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:34,669 all what many so it was I it was a really exciting time 245 00:14:34,669 --> 00:14:38,969 it was at time out by you know the question I always get is why did 246 00:14:38,970 --> 00:14:42,790 I make a billion dollars of a bit and I keep reminding people that 247 00:14:42,789 --> 00:14:46,349 are mostly people who are pioneers with the accepted Mr 248 00:14:46,350 --> 00:14:49,379 edmark and Jason arm or 249 00:14:49,379 --> 00:14:52,990 didn't make a whole lot of money off with the squirrel 250 00:14:52,990 --> 00:14:57,240 the switch in the plains we were working in an environment which 251 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,419 I'll put a premium on I'll 252 00:15:00,419 --> 00:15:03,828 you're getting the technology out there making it is widely available as 253 00:15:03,828 --> 00:15:04,809 possible 254 00:15:04,809 --> 00:15:08,739 I tens big coup with Sharon which is the 255 00:15:08,740 --> 00:15:11,948 organization that work for when we first develop where 256 00:15:11,948 --> 00:15:15,188 was two guests earned to put I'll 257 00:15:15,188 --> 00:15:18,568 the the HDD where software that he agreed 258 00:15:18,568 --> 00:15:22,208 into the public to me all so it wasn't even choose to give away 259 00:15:22,208 --> 00:15:26,049 it was surgeons property as it as an employee 260 00:15:26,049 --> 00:15:30,359 he it was actually belong to Sir and down 261 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,419 I she he actually convince them to be able to 262 00:15:34,419 --> 00:15:37,659 but in the public domain what's what really all 263 00:15:37,659 --> 00:15:40,688 17 Center with a firearm with the whole 264 00:15:40,688 --> 00:15:44,328 so I'll at the time the the 265 00:15:44,328 --> 00:15:48,409 philosophy behind it it's really let's get this out there this is a brave new 266 00:15:48,409 --> 00:15:52,219 world we don't know what's what all this technology can be used for 267 00:15:52,220 --> 00:15:56,199 I don't think any of us including 10 imagine what it would become 268 00:15:56,198 --> 00:15:59,729 a you know he he always had a much grander vision a bit 269 00:15:59,730 --> 00:16:04,579 but I don't I I can guarantee you I spent many many many many in our 270 00:16:04,578 --> 00:16:08,859 and I with David sandbar is changing it then and I can't guarantee you that 271 00:16:08,860 --> 00:16:11,980 he did not suit anymore certain 272 00:16:11,980 --> 00:16:15,079 I'm I should dare and 273 00:16:15,078 --> 00:16:19,099 you know he even he I don't think having idea that it would 274 00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:22,899 a CD take over the world attack the world's population will be using this 275 00:16:22,899 --> 00:16:23,938 system or 276 00:16:23,938 --> 00:16:28,698 he created twenty years later to anybody 277 00:16:28,698 --> 00:16:32,409 or thank you so much I mean so 278 00:16:32,409 --> 00:16:36,188 speaking and threats yeah it has I'm 279 00:16:36,188 --> 00:16:39,480 changed and I guess 280 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,740 taken over in a way I that me 281 00:16:42,740 --> 00:16:46,009 that mean I'm sure wouldn't have expected a 282 00:16:46,009 --> 00:16:49,088 I wanted to now move to Josh 283 00:16:49,089 --> 00:16:53,140 and judge were not I'll cool are both 284 00:16:53,139 --> 00:16:56,289 perini I'll who 285 00:16:56,289 --> 00:17:00,198 very committed involves 286 00:17:00,198 --> 00:17:03,918 leaders and what is now become 287 00:17:03,918 --> 00:17:07,618 a global at for two 288 00:17:07,618 --> 00:17:11,938 mean the way it was surprising in to save the Internet or preserve and 289 00:17:11,939 --> 00:17:12,919 protect 290 00:17:12,919 --> 00:17:16,199 to open this on and all up to 291 00:17:16,199 --> 00:17:19,619 right to tree expression access 292 00:17:19,618 --> 00:17:23,417 on and up also privacy that have 293 00:17:23,419 --> 00:17:27,369 that me all would feel are embedded actually 294 00:17:27,368 --> 00:17:30,399 in the way that it was bill so 295 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,710 Josh I wonder if you could explain to us really briefly what 296 00:17:34,710 --> 00:17:39,179 your where your role is in your organization and then also 297 00:17:39,179 --> 00:17:43,650 on tell us about the web we want campaign 298 00:17:43,650 --> 00:17:47,880 and explain you know how you think this 299 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,610 rights movement is is shaping up and 300 00:17:51,609 --> 00:17:55,678 and if you can kinda link it with everything that Allen just laid out for 301 00:17:55,679 --> 00:17:56,120 us 302 00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,349 out to be really wonderful although my best so 303 00:18:00,349 --> 00:18:04,369 my name's Josh levy I'm from Free Press where 304 00:18:04,369 --> 00:18:09,099 us-based organization we advocate for 305 00:18:09,099 --> 00:18:12,599 better technology media policy that allows 306 00:18:12,599 --> 00:18:15,659 or an open Internet or better representation 307 00:18:15,660 --> 00:18:18,910 people in the media including in and an immediate 308 00:18:18,910 --> 00:18:22,190 thats online and for open access 309 00:18:22,190 --> 00:18:26,230 information and this Asian ever talk method 310 00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:30,500 anniversary at the web has really central to our work because we've been 311 00:18:30,500 --> 00:18:31,058 fighting 312 00:18:31,058 --> 00:18:34,349 for example to you at past 313 00:18:34,349 --> 00:18:38,089 strong mentality policies here in the US for years 314 00:18:38,089 --> 00:18:41,819 at basically ever since the issue first came up with the mid 2000's 315 00:18:41,819 --> 00:18:44,819 missile big internet service providers blocking 316 00:18:44,819 --> 00:18:48,379 trafficking coming from their destinations and 317 00:18:48,380 --> 00:18:52,270 that fight is ongoing the FCC to better communications commission here in the US 318 00:18:52,269 --> 00:18:52,849 which 319 00:18:52,849 --> 00:18:56,709 is charged with overseeing communications and technology policy 320 00:18:56,710 --> 00:19:02,079 past rules in 2010 they were intended to protect me chali but we're passing our 321 00:19:02,079 --> 00:19:05,649 in a way that we knew what was gonna hold up in court 322 00:19:05,650 --> 00:19:09,519 anywhere as unfortunately we saw that 323 00:19:09,519 --> 00:19:13,720 happened earlier this year when I court in Washington DC 324 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,509 throughout those roles effectively throwing out any net neutrality 325 00:19:16,509 --> 00:19:18,140 protections that people have 326 00:19:18,140 --> 00:19:21,540 and so this gets back kinda but Jeremy were saying 327 00:19:21,539 --> 00:19:24,678 the internet versus the web right so when we're talking about net neutrality 328 00:19:24,679 --> 00:19:26,330 which I have a lot of people 329 00:19:26,329 --> 00:19:29,389 heard about this on Sat that you should be able to access 330 00:19:29,390 --> 00:19:33,320 any information on why online without anybody getting in the way 331 00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:36,519 out with it that's a big company or the government 332 00:19:36,519 --> 00:19:39,779 an that is essentially 333 00:19:39,779 --> 00:19:45,160 that's it a policy that applies to the Internet to the ways in which all are 334 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,390 computers connect with each other and we have this basic understanding 335 00:19:48,390 --> 00:19:52,610 that the internet should be reno it meaning that my computer should be able 336 00:19:52,609 --> 00:19:57,038 next yours into this well networked computers without any entity 337 00:19:57,038 --> 00:20:00,950 inspecting the traffic trying to understand what you're trying to access 338 00:20:00,950 --> 00:20:05,390 and based on that are in a blog so it doesn't like the video watching slowing 339 00:20:05,390 --> 00:20:06,309 it down our 340 00:20:06,308 --> 00:20:10,869 denied application using walking it that that should be totally unacceptable we 341 00:20:10,869 --> 00:20:12,029 should be able to net 342 00:20:12,029 --> 00:20:15,788 to whatever we want in whatever way we want and that includes using the web 343 00:20:15,788 --> 00:20:17,160 rights to the web 344 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,690 is basically an application that ride over the Internet 345 00:20:20,690 --> 00:20:24,110 the internet says global network the weather is just one application that 346 00:20:24,109 --> 00:20:24,619 uses that 347 00:20:24,619 --> 00:20:28,649 or network and so it is essential net challenged essential using where the 348 00:20:28,650 --> 00:20:33,090 as as we've seen today using the web is so essential to all our lives 349 00:20:33,089 --> 00:20:36,759 and big companies and governments have so much power over it 350 00:20:36,759 --> 00:20:41,029 bad at the inn block alright things political speech 351 00:20:41,029 --> 00:20:44,089 video that you want to watch features a cat there so 352 00:20:44,089 --> 00:20:47,428 I'm anyway so that's what the press is doing in large part is trying to protect 353 00:20:47,429 --> 00:20:47,940 that notion 354 00:20:47,940 --> 00:20:51,759 net neutrality and wall added that fight 355 00:20:51,759 --> 00:20:54,839 came a number campaign link their at me 356 00:20:54,839 --> 00:20:59,019 stock so it was that bad copyright they'll your get your the US 357 00:20:59,019 --> 00:21:02,889 and after that you know realization I think here the US around the world that 358 00:21:02,890 --> 00:21:03,650 we are needed 359 00:21:03,650 --> 00:21:06,740 I each other a little bit or those of us who have been 360 00:21:06,740 --> 00:21:11,558 advocating for reopen it for a long time and so we started doing that 361 00:21:11,558 --> 00:21:14,548 repressed led the development and wrapping up something called the 362 00:21:14,548 --> 00:21:16,069 decoration etc reno 363 00:21:16,069 --> 00:21:20,329 which was a simple statement of principles out they are right to access 364 00:21:20,329 --> 00:21:21,779 information online 365 00:21:21,779 --> 00:21:25,750 and Adam backing up really fruitful relationship with Tim berners-lee 366 00:21:25,750 --> 00:21:29,058 organization the world wide web foundation 367 00:21:29,058 --> 00:21:32,649 and we discussed ways in which we could move that effort 368 00:21:32,650 --> 00:21:35,660 forward this you that declaration effort 369 00:21:35,660 --> 00:21:39,880 to involve more troops around the world more people around the world 370 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,890 and shit guarantee that we all have access to information 371 00:21:43,890 --> 00:21:47,390 and that that access and the principles behind it 372 00:21:47,390 --> 00:21:51,299 are not a demanded any one country or anyone 373 00:21:51,298 --> 00:21:56,369 it also added that in this great project the web we want which we're not going to 374 00:21:56,369 --> 00:21:57,869 tell you more about 375 00:21:57,869 --> 00:22:00,909 which is seeking to do just that to you 376 00:22:00,910 --> 00:22:04,788 pass laws

00:30:36,660 all the way so they can get involved 511 00:30:36,660 --> 00:30:40,558 wanting right so in thinking about how can we make 512 00:30:40,558 --> 00:30:43,680 a little show today that would celebrate the web 513 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,130 I couldn't help but think about Global Voices 514 00:30:47,130 --> 00:30:50,490 because that's what brings us all together here 515 00:30:50,490 --> 00:30:55,329 and I think that our community and so many ways 516 00:30:55,329 --> 00:30:59,000 I mean we couldn't exist we wouldn't exist without the web 517 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:03,579 but doctor also so many on particular 518 00:31:03,579 --> 00:31:07,699 attributes ovett in when it comes to access and openness that 519 00:31:07,700 --> 00:31:11,500 allow us to do all the things that we do like including this 520 00:31:11,500 --> 00:31:16,359 hang out right now I'm so I wanted to ask 521 00:31:16,359 --> 00:31:19,819 although we're really short on time so I'm gonna have to asking to be super 522 00:31:19,819 --> 00:31:20,460 presh 523 00:31:20,460 --> 00:31:24,460 but chair you I kinda I said is there could you talk 524 00:31:24,460 --> 00:31:29,670 a little bit about what with if you look at Global Voices 525 00:31:29,670 --> 00:31:32,890 answered the way that it's grown-up on 526 00:31:32,890 --> 00:31:37,450 with the Internet you've been here since the beginning so you can kinda wish 527 00:31:37,450 --> 00:31:40,620 just tell us tell us a bit 528 00:31:40,619 --> 00:31:43,909 okay well I I actually haven't been 529 00:31:43,910 --> 00:31:47,220 where at Global Voices since the very beginning 530 00:31:47,220 --> 00:31:51,009 but I joined near the start so maybe you can see on my screen 531 00:31:51,009 --> 00:31:54,019 Global Voices we started actually in 2005 532 00:31:54,019 --> 00:31:57,119 I and one of the great things about the story 533 00:31:57,119 --> 00:31:59,419 is that it was started 534 00:31:59,420 --> 00:32:02,590 quickly in easily I by ethan Zuckerman 535 00:32:02,589 --> 00:32:05,899 arm who set up the original site I 536 00:32:05,900 --> 00:32:10,070 along with Rebecca MacKinnon who out worked on the idea content and so 537 00:32:10,069 --> 00:32:13,720 they actually used word press which is this system we still use today 538 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:18,200 and which is very similar to the web in a lot of sense is 539 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:23,049 I because it's a distributed project people all around the world develop it 540 00:32:23,049 --> 00:32:26,210 its open source and it's free and it is so 541 00:32:26,210 --> 00:32:30,470 not by convenience but by very explicit philosophy and they're very active in 542 00:32:30,470 --> 00:32:31,350 defending Mac 543 00:32:31,349 --> 00:32:35,240 arm and also in another way I originally 544 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:40,220 I at the time there was a very popular free software called movable type 545 00:32:40,220 --> 00:32:44,430 which became commercial and instead sign a paper at people 546 00:32:44,430 --> 00:32:48,400 switch to Word Press I'm so this was our original website 547 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,650 we later redesigned it several times I 548 00:32:51,650 --> 00:32:55,740 and over the years we have grown with 549 00:32:55,740 --> 00:33:00,730 I Word Press to at take advantage of the new features 550 00:33:00,730 --> 00:33:06,750 and I keep running our site and sell running are 551 00:33:06,750 --> 00:33:11,410 our whole infrastructure on this very decentralized open source model has been 552 00:33:11,410 --> 00:33:14,700 I really rewarding experience for us are just as 553 00:33:14,700 --> 00:33:18,220 using the web has then obviously I there what are the most interesting 554 00:33:18,220 --> 00:33:22,430 things is that Global Voices is all about the web without the web without 555 00:33:22,430 --> 00:33:22,980 that 556 00:33:22,980 --> 00:33:26,539 decentralized of the ship anyone can write to it there would be no Global 557 00:33:26,539 --> 00:33:27,129 Voices 558 00:33:27,130 --> 00:33:31,430 the whole point in little ways as well as to recognize that people all over the 559 00:33:31,430 --> 00:33:33,900 world were taking advantage of the benefits of the web 560 00:33:33,900 --> 00:33:37,630 and create one place where you can find it sort of like a archie wise 561 00:33:37,630 --> 00:33:41,760 I with GE pre web telnet days 562 00:33:41,759 --> 00:33:44,769 a archive things happening all around 563 00:33:44,769 --> 00:33:47,879 I've got Google Voice is dead arm 564 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,120 so yeah no and 565 00:33:51,119 --> 00:33:54,859 you know we've tried a lot of different infrastructure based around the web over 566 00:33:54,859 --> 00:33:55,589 the years 567 00:33:55,589 --> 00:34:00,259 I we you strip all reviews a lot of different online service that is 568 00:34:00,259 --> 00:34:01,970 obviously like everyone else 569 00:34:01,970 --> 00:34:05,870 the temptation to take advantage of Google's free offerings has always been 570 00:34:05,869 --> 00:34:10,159 are part of Global Voices DNA we use Google mailing lists we use 571 00:34:10,159 --> 00:34:13,349 I all the different things that they make for free 572 00:34:13,349 --> 00:34:16,809 which is an interesting part of the web because it's not the web that Google 573 00:34:16,809 --> 00:34:20,518 just happening to give it away but at the company they have a tendency to 574 00:34:20,518 --> 00:34:22,159 follow the spirit of the web 575 00:34:22,159 --> 00:34:25,190 I even though they're doing so for commercial reasons 576

keeping the the Internet I'm freaking 613 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,980 and unavailable its are it's going to be a real challenge I mean it's such a 614 00:36:45,980 --> 00:36:49,699 important technology now and you have things like a great 615 00:36:49,699 --> 00:36:53,639 wall are the Great Firewall of China Omni power 616 00:36:53,639 --> 00:36:57,309 you know russia recently as a while yesterday today 617 00:36:57,309 --> 00:37:02,699 shutting down I'll using got new laws to shut down access to 618 00:37:02,699 --> 00:37:06,059 guess at I against hooting I'll 619 00:37:06,059 --> 00:37:09,199 you know this getting reelected are I'm 620 00:37:09,199 --> 00:37:12,879 egypt was a real wake-up call for a lot of people on the use of social 621 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:13,820 networking 622 00:37:13,820 --> 00:37:17,230 I'll juju organize an activity on 623 00:37:17,230 --> 00:37:20,699 people and bring them up onto the sheets so governments are scared this 624 00:37:20,699 --> 00:37:21,539 technology 625 00:37:21,539 --> 00:37:24,929 and it's important that we worked really hard to keep it is 626 00:37:24,929 --> 00:37:28,069 this reason is because they realize that not for me chin 627 00:37:28,070 --> 00:37:31,720 are you talking to mention you control the people so I'm 628 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,399 I think it is a strange journey partner people I 629 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:39,250 let's just do not want to continue to work are very hard to you 630 00:37:39,250 --> 00:37:42,730 to stop the battle Austin form below the Legislature's 631 00:37:42,730 --> 00:37:46,590 summer just another eight rats I mean you know never ascribe to malice what 632 00:37:46,590 --> 00:37:47,039 will be 633 00:37:47,039 --> 00:37:52,199 ascribed to incompetence and on these people are just incompetent not not 634 00:37:52,199 --> 00:37:52,909 malicious 635 00:37:52,909 --> 00:37:56,809 I'll but they are people who are malicious as well so we have to deal 636 00:37:56,809 --> 00:37:57,679 with them as well 637 00:37:57,679 --> 00:38:01,049 but top it's you know it's vitally important the yes 638 00:38:01,050 --> 00:38:04,420 I nowadays not be these technologies reset 639 00:38:04,420 --> 00:38:11,420 at the core or culture and the way we communicate on may 640 00:38:13,190 --> 00:38:17,929 I me others at 10 quickly at 641 00:38:17,929 --> 00:38:21,480 I think that we read in your interesting moment where 642 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,789 so many basic knowledge the 643 00:38:24,789 --> 00:38:28,789 importance on the internet and no nowhere ands 644 00:38:28,789 --> 00:38:32,920 be impact it's had a on every aspect of our 645 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,409 culture and and because of that I think we as the 646 00:38:36,409 --> 00:38:40,199 users at the where into the internet have 647 00:38:40,199 --> 00:38:44,819 a duty to hold the government 648 00:38:44,820 --> 00:38:49,039 governments around the world in companies around the world accountable 649 00:38:49,039 --> 00:38:52,219 and to you its 650 00:38:52,219 --> 00:38:56,619 urge them and pressure them to protect the openness 651 00:38:56,619 --> 00:39:00,799 that lies at the core I'll this entire 652 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,210 name and to protect not just openness but 653 00:39:04,210 --> 00:39:07,269 also this notion 0 comments thats 654 00:39:07,269 --> 00:39:10,989 I in our opinion quickly being lost 655 00:39:10,989 --> 00:39:14,789 this notion that the that the internet and that the web are 656 00:39:14,789 --> 00:39:17,869 I'll are publicly on and that 657 00:39:17,869 --> 00:39:22,289 it the activity that takes place on them as activity that we 658 00:39:22,289 --> 00:39:26,199 undertake net me it that is ours and that is not baby 659 00:39:26,199 --> 00:39:29,519 mean up the big companies on his platforms 660 00:39:29,519 --> 00:39:32,710 me undertake the activity so for example 661 00:39:32,710 --> 00:39:36,340 google has allowed us to do a lot of things Google 662 00:39:36,340 --> 00:39:39,460 lost by a lot of information extremely quickly 663 00:39:39,460 --> 00:39:42,679 to connect to each other extremely well he is not working at 664 00:39:42,679 --> 00:39:46,449 are doing right now but Google's doing all this and 665 00:39:46,449 --> 00:39:49,509 at while mining the data to get 666 00:39:49,510 --> 00:39:54,300 selling of that data that data is also creating this historic all 667 00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:58,340 record up everything then search warrants a online which has been no 668 00:39:58,340 --> 00:40:02,160 exploited by governments but also by companies as I think it's time for us to 669 00:40:02,159 --> 00:40:04,379 think about that relationship between us 670 00:40:04,380 --> 00:40:09,210 and these big companies which is becoming essential part of our 671 00:40:09,210 --> 00:40:14,570 online experience and have to me the centralized that happen we 672 00:40:14,570 --> 00:40:17,860 decouple ourselves from these giant companies and take back 673 00:40:17,860 --> 00:40:22,940 or should I wear so that we are all in this experience in a deeper way and that 674 00:40:22,940 --> 00:40:26,630 it's not and experience is purely commercial and a commercial transaction 675 00:40:26,630 --> 00:40:27,970 between us and 676 00:40:27,969 --> 00:40:31,799 and if a company so that that's a big question spent eight years for travel it 677 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:38,800 right solutions but we're hoping that we can start it our station now 678 00:40:42,860 --> 00:40:47,300 well now now I'm not and now and we go back to something that 679 00:40:47,300 --> 00:40:52,690 germs set and he left a but that he met means that you did in the 680 00:40:52,690 --> 00:40:56,099 border Canadian border because the happier 681 00:40:56,099 --> 00:40:59,679 and now with a while I want to talk about the set that up 682 00:40:59,679 --> 00:41:03,339 at the end of the day yourself we've reduced 683 00:41:03,340 --> 00:41:06,630 a number of people who can actually 684 00:41:06,630 --> 00:41:10,619 eat some countries and not control the internet but you see 685 00:41:10,619 -->

what we want is that joint 737 00:44:27,449 --> 00:44:28,119 action 738 00:44:28,119 --> 00:44:31,259 a Bleezy mean and 739 00:44:31,260 --> 00:44:35,460 you can be it do remember bottle and not only battle 740 00:44:35,460 --> 00:44:40,519 but remember Syria because it seems that because if the new laws media's 741 00:44:40,519 --> 00:44:44,269 it we don't we don't be a hear about Syria and more

OK and something is good but neither the symbol 745 00:44:55,820 --> 00:44:59,870 have well but then a vote no on the suffering and together we to 746 00:44:59,869 --> 00:45:03,420 wood bats and I'm not sober system administrators 747 00:45:03,420 --> 00:45:06,769 computer experts and had a fierce 748 00:45:06,769 --> 00:45:11,050 what I recent so that we only care about journalists in others lots of people 749 00:45:11,050 --> 00:45:12,300 that somebody will people 750 00:45:12,300 --> 00:45:16,170 for the future Syria and who would increase in our 751 00:45:16,170 --> 00:45:19,320 what the we need our solidarity 752 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,609 I mean let's elect to even you're leaving a gun T 753 00:45:22,608 --> 00:45:25,759 air which has received a Syrian refugees 754
