11	Internetbegränsning på stadsbibliotek / Internet restriction in city libraries Elzén, Niklas January 2012 (has links) The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how city librariesmaintain the intellectual freedom in their Internet service. Thediscussion about Internet filters has been quiet in Sweden forseveral years, so I wanted to see if there had been an increased useof filters. I also wanted to see if the city libraries regulated theInternet service in another way. I sent a survey to 100 libraries andgot answer from 83. To explain what intellectual freedom is, I usedStuart Hamilton’s theory about intellectual freedom in the librarycontext. My result was that it had been an increased use of Internetfilters but still the use was rather small. Most of the libraries in thestudy used policies or rules to regulate Internet access on topicslike pornography or racism. Most of the libraries also had theircomputers in an open way, and that could lead to a self censoredinformation seeking for the user. A solution is to have thecomputers in a more hidden way, so the user could have a morefree access to the Internet. My conclusion is that the most librariesdid hamper the intellectual freedom with their use of filter, policiesand/or the placement of the computers. / Program: Bibliotekarie policy informationsfrihet censur internetfilter intellektuell frihet datorplacering yttrandefrihet Social Sciences Samhällsvetenskap

An analysis of JO's handling of four library cases. Sjöberg, Jesper January 2018 (has links) This study investigates the professional, media-strategic practices that the requests by some users lead to, and how these practices can be understood and problematized in relation to the laws, regulations and governing documents to which the libraries relate. Thus, in this study, the media's media strategy choices are set in a context of judicial authority and legal principles. Based on four different concrete cases where a user reported the library's actions to JO, it is investigated what arguments users, libraries and JO use to claim their positions on the issue. In recent years, the various media strategy choices that the libraries make, about what books should be bought, moved, stored, or borrowed from other libraries, has increasingly been debated. In some cases this has led to reports to the judicial authority JO (Justitieombudsmannen), who has investigated the situation. In the center of investigations, there is often an individual librarian, who through his or her actions and choices, in the encounter with a user, is often faced with a dilemma and, as a consequence, sometimes acts without support in current legislation. Research shows that increased sick leave can be related to the worries and stresses that librarians experience in relation to these dilemmas. There is therefore a need for increased knowledge of the regulatory framework that libraries can seek support from in situations where they face contradictory norms and values in relation to a user's wishes.

14	Tankar om övervakning : En digital etnografisk studie om anonymitets- och integritetsfrågor på Flashback Forum Olovsson, Ebba, Wixner, Rebecca January 2022 (has links) This essay is a digital empirical observation study which aims to examine current power dynamics considering online freedom and privacy at the Swedish social online forum Flashback Forum. The study centers on how users on Flashback forum interpret and express their views on anonymity, privacy and digital freedom and how their views stand in correlation to Manuel Castells’ network theory as well as Michel Foucault’s Panopticon. The scientific background of this essay is rooted in an information scientific approach and examines how digital technologies have profoundly changed how we as a society interpret privacy and information freedom. The empirical data which this study relies on has been gathered from the website Flashback Forum, a forum renowned for its controversial reputation and its focus on anonymity and freedom of expression. The digital era has broken down boundaries and created contradictory social relations which compromise individuals’ sense of identity. It is our intention to examine these contradictory relations and see how they interact with the average Flashback user’s sense of self. Our results have confirmed what similar studies have already proven, namely, that technology has indeed changed how we approach privacy and information freedom. However, what sets this study apart is that we further reconceptualise what integrity and identity means today from an information scientific point of view and take a closer look at underlying power structures that influence our worldview. The constant flows of information redefine social practices and have given cause to re-examine legal guidelines to better protect individuals and their digital and information rights.

15	Att hitta den gyllene gränslinjen : Yttrande- och informationsfrihet som en extern begränsning av upphovsrätt - en analys av utvecklingen i praxis / Finding the Golden Line : Freedom of expression and information as an external limitation on copyright - an analysis of the evolution of precedents Shin, Daniel January 2020 (has links) Prior to the millennium shift, references to fundamental rights when interpreting intellectual property law in doctrine were limited. However, the influence of fundamental rights has been on the rise in the past decade, notably in the context of freedom of expression and information and copyright law. In the early parts of 2013, the European Court of Human Rights issued two important judgements, where the possibilities of external limitations on copyright arose. Furthermore, the trend reached its peak in the summer of 2019, as three decisions were delivered by the Court of Justice of the European Union in an effort to define the boundaries between freedom of expression and information and copyright. In essence, the Luxembourg Court takes a liberal approach to the interpretation of copyright law in the light of fundamental rights as guaranteed in the Charter of Fundamental Rights in the European Union but does not consider it possible to limit copyright through external means, beyond the exhaustive list of exceptions and limitations of Article 5 of the Infosoc Directive. This thesis argues that, despite furthering the trend by allowing for a broad interpretation of copyright law when necessary, the three most recent decisions are in contrast with the two judgements from the Strasbourg Court. Thus, Swedish courts must interpret European court practice in a way that, in certain circumstances, goes beyond the codified exceptions and limitations in favour of fundamental rights. Further guidance for the application of these types of external limitations on copyright is, however, necessary, as the two European courts have yet to paint a complete picture of the constitutionalization of copyright law.

16	Twitter, Tumblr, troll och porr : Om sociala mediers ansvar för yttrande- och informationsfrihet / Twitter, Tumblr, trolls and porn : On social media and the responsibility for freedom of speech and freedom of information Thorslund, Fredrik Emanuel January 2019 (has links) There has, for the past few decades, been an increasing tendency from states to hold social media and other information intermediaries liable for the illicit or undesirable speech of their users. Much less debated, however, has been the question of intermediary responsibility for the freedom of speech and information of internet users. In the EU, as well as the US, there are no clear legal safeguards for protecting freedom of speech on privately owned networking platforms – albeit the exponential growth of these platforms as spheres for public expression and discourse. This thesis argues that the content moderation practices and policies of some of the largest social media platforms, in several respects, correspond poorly to Swedish and European freedom of speech standards, as established in human rights law. Considering the rationale behind speech rights, as well as the increasing significance of social media for public discourse, the thesis suggests alternative legal measures to establish corporate responsibility and ensuring online freedom of speech. sociala medier yttrandefrihet informationsfrihet censur mellanhandsansvar rättsinformatik digitala rättigheter grindvakter neutralitet ansvar mellanhänder informationsdistribution plattform medier EKMR Europakonventionen RF regeringsformen EU-stadgan Facebook Twitter Tumblr YouTube Instagram Law (excluding Law and Society)
