Chapter 7 in A Better World, Inc, 2014, pp 131-151 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A day does not go by without news of human rights abuses. These might be perpetrated by governments denying basic civil liberties to people or failing to guarantee a humane rule of law. In reading about violence around the world, you might notice that national governments have shut off people’s access to the Internet: in Syria in November 2012, 3 in Iran in February 2012,4 and in Egypt5 in January 2011.6 You might have followed stories about children forced into sex trafficking here in the United States,7 in Britain,8 and worldwide.9
