> From my perspective, civil society isn't >being seduced, it is being systematically >excluded! Here's a recent article I wrote >on this topic. You are referring to decision-making on Internet matters. Since much of the Internet infrastructure is now private property, why would you be surprised if its decision-making, like any business firm, excludes the public at large? I was referring to our *life* - how we talk to each other, how we teach the young, how we buy our needs, how we entertain ourselves, even how we protest: we are being seduced to conduct more and more of it on the Internet. Away from public spaces where we have the strongest grounds to fight for our access rights, towards private spaces where property rights can more easily constrain us.
