The Benefits of Computer Games for Kids
Benefits of computer games for kids evidently include learning how to deal with an attacking moose. Do follow the link and read the comments, too... I especially like "maybe his noob sister body pulled" and the comment to follow about the tanks.
WoW lingo, for those of you baffled by all of this.

China and the Internet
From the WSJ, coverage of the impact of the Net on China:
The Party's rescue mission was staged to quell public discontent -- not out of any real obligation to upholding the rule of law. Which brings us to the real problem: The Party can't wholly enforce the rule of law without allowing a free press, and it can't loosen the reins on the press without exposing its own corruption. It's a catch-22, and China's citizens, especially its poorest, are the ones who suffer.
Some citizens, like the brick kiln fathers, are brave enough to take justice into their own hands. Armed with the Internet, they now have a mechanism to do so.

FTC Comments on Net Neutrality
Recent remarks by Deborah Platt Majoras caution against adopting net neutrality regulation, following the FTC's report:
Majoras said that without evidence of "market failure or demonstrated consumer harm, policy makers should be particularly hesitant to enact new regulation in this area."
In separate remarks before a lawyers' group Wednesday, Majoras said the agency was unaware of any market failure or consumer harm in the high-speed Internet market, according to a written copy of her speech.

Good Idea! Censorship as Trade Barrier
Braden Cox at TLF blogs on Google's argument that censorship is a trade barrier. There's a news story here. And Andrew McLaughlin blogs here. I'm astounded that this line of argument hasn't already been presented (as of course it has with the US prohibition on Internet gambling).

Race and Privacy in Europe
An interesting essay on the downstream effects of keeping government from collecting data about race, ethnicity, or religion in France from the National Journal.
The European vision of privacy has always puzzled me. On the one hand, given the power of their welfare state, it makes sense to take some prophylactic measures to prevent a second holocaust. But why grant the powers to begin with, if one believes the risk of their abuse is so high that the government cannot be trusted with information to administer them?
