Fresh from the “you couldn’t make it up department” word reaches me from Geneva where the World Information Society review process is underway. Two days ago the representative of the French Government noted ” the need to ensure that the Internet is open to women, children, persons with disabilities, and other marginalised groups.”
I am pretty sure that if you add together everyone in those categories you will find they make up a majority of today’s internet users so the internet is clearly already open to them but what is undoubtedly true is that their interests are frequently overlooked because there is an institutional bias towards imagining that every internet user is………..you can fill in the dots. I’m going to try to get back to a short blogs regime.
By the way well done Ecuador, UK and Tunisia for raising their voices about children’s and young people’s interests as internet users.
