Regulate ISPs Now
Regulate ISPs Now
02/01/2005 09:44 PMI keep thinking about our experience at
Christmas,
when we set up my Mom for broadband, and the local ISP thought it was
just fine to send her home with a DSL modem to plug into her Win98
box; no warnings, no education, no firewalls. This is just not OK. We
have all sorts of regulation in place to ensure that drivers are
equipped with reasonably safe gear and have some basic education on
how to proceed safely. Similarly, we regulate residential construction
and investment dealers and employers and manufacturers, and
this is a good thing. So I think we need some
legislation in place that says if someone’s computer gets hacked
through no fault of their own and inflicts damage on some Internet
user somewhere, the ISP is liable for that damage unless they can show
they took some minimal effort to explain to their customers that the
Internet is a dangerous place, but that you can be safe if you follow
a few simple precautions.

Which ISPs Allow Sharing?
Which ISPs Allow Sharing?
05/20/2004 01:12 PMSome Internet service providers allow connections to be shared, but
they're few and far between: I mentioned in passing yesterday that
Speakeasy Networks was the only ISP to encourage sharing access to
anyone and everyone for any of their personal or business DSL and T-1
accounts. Dana Spiegel of NYCwireless wrote in to note that three New
York providers allow sharing. She also pointed to PersonalTelco's
run-down on ISPs and their sharing policies, but the information is
largely out of date, or includes ISPs as allowing sharing which have
only confirmed this by phone or in email but not in their AUP. EFF had
a list as well which they've intended to update for two years, and may
happen soon. I don't take a statement from an ISP via email or by
phone that sharing is permitted as legitimate: it has to be in the
publicly posted terms of service. NYCwireless lists Bway.Net,
Cloud9.Net, and Ace DSL. I checked their terms of service to see how
they word it. Bway.net explicitly allows it, but you have to notify
them to be legit. Cloud9.Net doesn't really state you can share, and
you can read their terms to state you can't. They say, in summary: The
customer may permit a member of their immediate household to use the
customer's account subject to the account holder's supervision and the
customer agrees that Cloud 9 reserves the right to prevent other
Internet users from accessing its network, either in part or in whole,
for any reason. Ace's policies are even vaguer, making it a gray issue
that you can share a connection. But they do say In conjunction with
the terms of Section "III c.", above, I agree not to resell any of the
Services provided hereunder or the passwords thereto; Speakeasy allows
resale of any part of any connection. You can help compile a newer
list of sharing-friendly ISPs: email me if you're an ISP that
specifically allows sharing in your usage agreement or if you work
with such an ISP. Please include a link to the terms of service Web
page for confirmation....

UK May Require ISPs To Tag Porn
06/07/2004 11:45 PMFollowing the news that BT is going to make an
effor
t to block all child porn, there's news that UK telecom regulator
Ofcom is floating an idea to
have ISPs tag content as
being potentially "adult" in nature to make it easier to filter
out. It's not hard to figure out the many reasons why this plan
sounds like both a waste of time and money. ISPs are never going to
be able to effectively tag the content. For all the filters already
out there, none of them work all that well. Having people sit there
and actually review the content is more effective than any automated
system, but it's also slow, expensive, and very, very subjective.

Australia Wants ISPs To Block Porn
Australia Wants ISPs To Block Porn
08/17/2004 01:29 PMAdd some members of the Australian government to the group of
politicians who seem to think that secretive filters at the ISP level
are the solution to porn. They're recommending that
ISPs be responsible for blocking certain
hardcore porn. The reason for the recommendation appears to be
the realization that regulation isn't working. However, they seem to
immediately assume that filtering
will work, ignoring plenty of
historical evidence that it doesn't. Even worse, filtering at the ISP
level has often been shown to block perfectly legitimate sites. Since
the details of what sites are being filtered are always kept secret,
there's often no way for anyone to know if legitimate sites are
included in the block. Those behind this plan claim this plan "is a
proposal that has merit because it gets to the problem at the source
and it would make it much harder for the industry to duck
responsibility." There are plenty of problems with that statement.
First, this plan is exactly the opposite of getting at "the source" of
the problem. It's clearly focused on getting at the problem in the
middle -- the ISP, who has nothing to do with the porn itself. If
they really want to get "at the source" of the problem, they should go
after those who are putting illegal porn online. Second, to suggest
that it's the ISPs' "responsibility" is again backwards. The ISPs are
simply a service, and requiring them to set up a system to filter all
content through their service isn't a responsibility, it's a pointless
burden that will add expense without doing much to stop the real
problem. If the government wanted to go after the real source of the
problem, they'd go after those truly responsible for the problem --
not the folks in the middle who are simply transporting bits.

Legal Liability For ISPs Revisited
Legal Liability For ISPs Revisited
04/19/2004 04:15 AMLast month we wrote about the ISP in Pennsylvania who had their
serve
rs seized for providing a Usenet tool that some people were using
to access child porn. Now, the law is pretty clear ISP liability on
such things. The liability falls with those who actually possess the
child porn, and not the ISP used to access it. This is for a few very
good reasons - including the fact that passing liability on to the
ISPs would basically require them to first analyze every packet that
went across their network. This, obviously isn't practical. Now, the
Associated Press has picked up on the story and are running their own
article with more details about the
potential legal ramifications of the case. Unfortunately,
because it's focused on the third rail issue of "child pornography"
many people are going to miss the legal importance of what's happening
and focus on why it's important to stop child porn. That's absolutely
true, but the way to do that is to go after those actually responsible
for the child porn and not the ISP that people used to access it.
This is yet another case where people are going after enabling
technology that has plenty of legitimate uses, rather than going after
those who actually broke the law.
