互联网被浪漫化为自由的领域。先进技术与低门槛进入和即时接触数百万用户的诱人组合，使自由主义者和社区主义者都着迷。立法者也加入了庆祝活动，通过了《通信规范法》，该法案使互联网服务提供商能够允许不受管制的言论而不承担责任，所有这些都是以加强言论自由的名义进行的。但一个不受监管的互联网是滋生攻击性行为的温床。最后，我们有了一本书，开始关注匿名、免于责任和缺乏监督而造成的滥用行为。本书汇集了来自法律和哲学领域的杰出学者，他们将法律的监督缺失与骚扰和歧视联系起来。他们质疑辱骂性言论和手机统治是新技术不可避免的结果这一简单化的概念，认为当前的滥用是社会、技术和法律的选择的产物。清楚地看到这一点将有助于我们更好地了解我们的选择。在一个仍然由前沿视角主导的领域，这本书有潜力成为真实的游戏规则改变者。作者以互联网聊天室和论坛中的骚扰为例，详细介绍了当前法律和技术相结合所滋生的一些卑鄙和仇恨的言论。然后对事实进行分析和政策处方。读了这本书，你就再也不会戴着玫瑰色的眼镜看互联网了。
The Internet has been romanticized as a zone of freedom. The alluring combination of sophisticated technology with low barriers to entry and instantaneous outreach to millions of users has mesmerized libertarians and communitarians alike. Lawmakers have joined the celebration, passing the Communications Decency Act, which enables Internet Service Providers to allow unregulated discourse without danger of liability, all in the name of enhancing freedom of speech. But an unregulated Internet is a breeding ground for offensive conduct. At last we have a book that begins to focus on abuses made possible by anonymity, freedom from liability, and lack of oversight. The distinguished scholars assembled in this volume, drawn from law and philosophy, connect the absence of legal oversight with harassment and discrimination. Questioning the simplistic notion that abusive speech and mobocracy are the inevitable outcomes of new technology, they argue that current misuse is the outgrowth of social, technological, and legal choices. Seeing this clearly will help us to be better informed about our options. In a field still dominated by a frontier perspective, this book has the potential to be a real game changer. Armed with example after example of harassment in Internet chat rooms and forums, the authors detail some of the vile and hateful speech that the current combination of law and technology has bred. The facts are then treated to analysis and policy prescriptions. Read this book and you will never again see the Internet through rose-colored glasses.
