Information Doesn’t Want to Be Free

Information doesn’t want to be free…but people do. We live in a world made of networked computers, but still our lawmakers treat the Internet as though it was a better video-on-demand system or a pornography distribution system or a jihadi recruiting system—instead of the nervous system of the 21st century.

Author and activist Cory Doctor will address the questions “How can libraries and activists strike alliances to demand that information policy be afforded the gravitas it’s due?” and “How can creators—who, after all, should always be on the side of free expression, privacy and freedom—be recruited to the fight?”











When: Sat., Jun. 6, 2015 at 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Where: The New York Academy of Medicine
1216 Fifth Ave.
212-822-7200
