[bestbits] Human rights and the internet: New space on openDemocracy - now live

[Marianne Franklin]

Dear all

(Apologies for the inevitable cross-posting)

After some months of work, it is with great pleasure that I can 
introduce you all to a new initiative, which has just gone live on 
openDemocracy <https://www.opendemocracy.net/>- It is entitled /Human 
Rights and the Internet/, and you can enter the series directly at 
https://www.opendemocracy.net/hri.

This space brings scholars, activists, artists, techies, and 
policymakers together to debate, and also to delve more deeply into a 
range of interlocked issues that fall under this rubric now that this 
connection has become a recognizable element to internet governance 
policymaking, scholarship, and human rights advocacy. Thanks to all the 
contributors for the inaugural page, some familiar authors and also some 
up and coming contributors.

Feel free to comment and if you would like to contribute let me know.

Watch this space for more news on upcoming articles.

The hashtag is #humanrightsinternet

Best wishes

MF
