The Internet of Garbage
July 14, 2015 11:40 AM Subscribe
Sarah Jeong, a journalist trained as a lawyer at Harvard Law School, discusses the problem of “online harassment,” with various accounts of harassment that have made their way into mainstream media, as well as lesser-known ones. The Internet of Garbage considers why and how to recalibrate this ongoing project of garbage-removal from content platforms and social media networks. It’s not as simple as policing offensive material and hitting the delete button online: Jeong tackles precarious issues like free speech, behavior vs. content, doxing and SPAM.
Jeong is also known for her work on the 5 Useful Articles newsletter with Parker Higgins on Copyright and Fair Use.

....I'd very much like to "read on", as the original link tells me, but I'm not seeing how - is there an actual article, or is this just an ad for an upcoming book?

Sarah Jeong writing about online harassment? Self-recommending. I hit the pre-order button as soon as I saw what it was (a 91-page ebook).

This is literally just an ad for a book.
