Law Three: Human Rights - Social Contracts in Digital Life

內容大綱
The Laws of Disruption, written by Larry Downes, a partner with the Bell-Mason Group, is a 12-chapter book published by Basic Books/Perseus Books Group. Composed of four sections, the book explores a simple but unavoidable principle of modern life: though technology changes exponentially, social, economic, and legal systems change incrementally. This disparity in change, Downes argues, will inevitably instigate conflicts between systems rooted in the past and the current and future generations who are dramatically rewriting the rules of both business and social interaction. Downes suggests nine emerging principles that are shaping a new legal code - the laws of disruption - that will close the gap between institutions of the past and those of the future. Chapter 5 discusses the third of the nine laws of disruption: human rights. The author argues that individual rights in digital life eroded badly during the war on terror of the early 2000's, and that "the only protection most of us are left with is the sheer volume of information and the lack of funding for governments to sift through all of it." He goes on to propose the establishment of several principles of digital civil liberties, and then the writing of software to enforce them.
