News.com hosting public talk with Jonathan Zittrain on Nov. 28
CNET News.com is hosting a public event (our first, at least in recent memory) this Wednesday in our San Francisco headquarters with Jonathan Zittrain of Oxford University.
Jonathan Zittrain
It's open to the general public, and you're invited. Stop by and meet not only Jonathan, but also your favorite San Francisco-based writers and editors here at News.com.
Jonathan has a book coming out next April called The Future of the Internet--And How to Stop It (Yale University Press) that can be preordered on Amazon.com. It's about what Jonathan views as the threat of the Internet ecosystem becoming blotted by restrictive tools and rash approaches to security challenges, and we're pleased to host him this week.
The details:
CNET Networks
235 Second Street
Ground floor
San Francisco, CA 94105
Wednesday, November 28, 2007, at 7:30 p.m.
CNET Networks, which publishes News.com, is fairly close to BART. Get off at the Montgomery station and use the exit marked Second and Market. Walk south on Second Street until you reach the CNET building on the left, about two and a half blocks. We're also about seven blocks from the Caltrain station.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation is sponsoring the event, so please RSVP to them at bayff-rsvp@eff.org if you're planning to come. Here's EFF's own event page.
Declan McCullagh, CNET News' chief political correspondent, chronicles the intersection of politics and technology. He has covered politics, technology, and Washington, D.C., for more than a decade, which has turned him into an iconoclast and a skeptic of anyone who says, "We oughta have a new federal law against this."
