The Republic Of Letters And The Origins Of Scientific Knowledge Commons, Michael J. Madison
The Republic Of Letters And The Origins Of Scientific Knowledge Commons, Michael J. Madison
Book Chapters
The knowledge commons framework, deployed here in a review of the early network of scientific communication known as the Republic of Letters, combines a historical sensibility regarding the character of scientific research and communications with a modern approach to analyzing institutions for knowledge governance. Distinctions and intersections between public purposes and privacy interests are highlighted. Lessons from revisiting the Republic of Letters as knowledge commons may be useful in advancing contemporary discussions of Open Science.

Privacy In Pandemic: Law, Technology, And Public Health In The Covid-19 Crisis, Tiffany C. Li
Law Faculty Scholarship
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused millions of deaths and disastrous consequences around the world, with lasting repercussions for every field of law, including privacy and technology. The unique characteristics of this pandemic have precipitated an increase in use of new technologies, including remote communications platforms, healthcare robots, and medical Al.

Advocates have raised the alarm for privacy and civil liberties violations, but the emergency …

Digital Gatekeepers, Thomas E. Kadri
Digital Gatekeepers, Thomas E. Kadri
Scholarly Works
If in William Blackstone's time we might have thought of a person's home as their castle, in Mark Zuckerberg's time we might say that their website is too. Under cyber-trespass laws like the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, courts have treated online platforms as digital gatekeepers--as property owners that may permit and restrict access to websites much like landowners may do with private land in the real world. If platforms withhold their consent through words or inference, cyber-trespass laws let them enforce their preferences about who may access their services and gather information from the internet. Concerned about reputations and …
Pandemic Surveillance Discrimination, Christian Sundquist
Pandemic Surveillance Discrimination, Christian Sundquist
Articles
The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the abiding tension between surveillance and privacy.

The nature and scope of public health surveillance in the battle against COVID-19, however, has significantly changed with the advent of new technologies. Digital surveillance tools, often embedded in wearable technology, have greatly increased …
