Christopher S. Yoo , Network Neutrality and the Need for a Technological Turn in Internet Scholarship, SSRN
To most social scientists, the technical details of how the Internet actually works remain arcane and inaccessible. At the same time, convergence is forcing scholars to grapple with how to apply regulatory regimes developed for traditional media to a world in which all services are provided via an Internet-based platform. This chapter explores the problems caused by

Eugene Volokh and Donald M. Falk, First Amendment Protection for Search Engine Search Results -- White Paper Commissioned by Google, SSRN
Once, the leading sources to which people turned for useful information were newspapers, guidebooks, and encyclopedias.

Facebook Plans To End The 'No Kids Under 13' Farce, Forbes
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is ready to have children. Not necessarily with his new wife, but on his social networking site.

Paul Ohm, The Fourth Amendment in a World Without Privacy, SSRN
This Article explores the relationship between private and public surveillance. Every year, companies spend millions of dollars developing new services that track, store, and share the words, movements, and even the thoughts of their customers. Millions now own sophisticated tracking devices (smart phones) studded with sensors and always connected to the Internet. They have been coaxed to use these devices to access fun and valuable services to share more information, more of the time. Our country is rapidly becoming a surveillance society.

Blake Ellis Reid, Keeping Up with the Joneses: The End of Police-Centric Justifications for the Third-Party Doctrine, SSRN
I write this essay to make a very narrow point: Justice Sotomayor's and Justice Alito's concurring opinions in the Supreme Court's recent decision in United States v. Jones seem to suggest that there are at least five votes on the Court for the proposition that the third-party doctrine of the Fourth Amendment cannot be justified by initial or primary reference to the needs of the police.
