[liberationtech] New CCIA policy doc: "Global Free Flow of Information on the Internet"

[Rebecca MacKinnon]

Conclusion: 
"Finally, we must recognize that Internet freedom starts at home.  We must 
discourage censorship; surveillance; and content blocking, prioritizing, or de-prioritizing 
whenever possible.  If unavoidable, such actions must be time-limited, narrowly tailored, 
and undertaken in an open and transparent process.  Finally, we must eschew attempts to 
deputize online intermediaries into law enforcement.  If the United States cannot 
maintain a free and open Internet, it is unlikely for other nations will do so."
