DEMOS-Monitor » Großbritannien plant EU-weite Onlinedurchsuchungen ohne richterliche Anordnung
Wie auf Spiegel-Online zu lesen ist, plant das britische Innenministerium laut eines Presseberichts der Times-Online, zukünftig bereits auf der Grundlage eines Verdachts Onlinedurchsuchungen im Inland und EU-Staaten durchführen zu können. Ohne richterliche Anordnung sollen britische Beamte dann selbst eine solche Untersuchung anordnen können, wenn dadurch ein nach ihrer Meinung “schweres Verbrechen” aufgedeckt oder verhindert werden kann.

Pep-Net - Pan European e-Participation Network » Multi-Lingual Online Dialogues?
One of the main challenges developing an international or pan-European online-dialogue lies in translating the user-generated comments.

Sunlight Foundation » Stimulus Bill To Go Web 2.0?
People have been clamoring for more transparency in the presentation of bills since the TARP recovery program was shoved through Congress with little time for the public to have a say.

E-Democracy » Government 2.0: how social media could transform government PR
A long article by PBS’s Mark Dupreau: “It’s easy to see governments as nameless, faceless monoliths, something impersonal or, even worse, untrustworthy. Much of that is because government culture remains steeped in traditional ideas about public relations and outreach work, notions that have become archaic in an Internet-enabled, hyper-connected world. Just as private companies are learning to embrace social media … [weiterlesen/Read more]
