Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper, the result of research conducted in 1998, takes an overview of a period of five years (1993-1998) on the Canadian Internet, looking for occurrences of controversial issues concerning free speech and privacy. A short historical review and a more detailed description of the theory behind free speech, as well as of the different actors interested in the development of the Internet, precede the actual overview of the issues at stake. As a rule, we can say that the intention of state institutions is to regulate the information flow on the Internet through censorship by limiting privacy. However, their attempts fail because of technological difficulties or simply the resistance of civil rights organizations specialized in Internet issues. Through the examples it presents, the paper wishes to provide guidance to the countries of the Central European region, who have yet to reach the stage of Internet development Canada knowns.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
