SXSW 2012 - Was It Something I Said?: TOS And Content

Was It Something I Said?: TOS And Content
Event	Interactive 2010
Format	Panel
Organizer	Lisa Vandever – CineKink
Description	The old adage – “I’ll know it when I see it” -- flourishes online, where murky definitions of what content is and is not allowed abound. One gatekeeper’s “inappropriate” is another’s “adult” is another’s “offensive, obscene and/or pornographic.” How are we affected as users and creators –and is there any recourse?
Questions Answered	How do TOS definitions of restricted content vary between various populer providers/platforms? What might be some of the legal rationale behind the restrictions? What are some of the experiences that users/content creators have had in dealing with these restrictions? How can I get my content out there despite the situation? How do I promote my content despite the situation? What's the end result of having certain content "ghettoized"? What's this chilling effect" you mention? What about my right to free speech? Is there anything we can do to change the situation? What are some resources for additional information and advocacy support
