Earlier today on Twitter, I listed what I thought were the Top 5 “Biggest Internet Policy Issues of 2012.” In case you don’t follow me on Twitter — and shame on you if you don’t! — here were my choices:
Copyright wars reinvigorated post-SOPA; tide starting to turn in favor of copyright reform. [TLF posts on
copyright.]
Privacy still red-hot w ECPA reform, online advertising regs & kids’ privacy issues all pending. [TLF posts on
privacy.]
WCIT makes
Internet governance / NetFreedom a major issue worldwide. [TLF posts on
Net governance.]
Antitrust threat looms larger w pending Google case + Apple books investigation. [TLF posts on
antitrust.]
Cybersecurity regulatory push continues in both legislative (CISPA) & executive branch. [TLF posts on
cybersecurity.]
Lists like these are entirely subjective, of course, but I am basing my list on the general amount of chatter I tended to see and hear about each topic over the course of the year.
What do you think the top tech policy issues of the year were?
