English The public has seldom played a powerful role in Internet governance. The case of Bill C30, Canadian legislation proposed in 2012 to update policy concerning investigation of Internet use, provides an example of citizens participating online in the shaping of Internet governance and regulation. This paper critically examines the role the Internet played in enabling citizens to influence the fate of C30 as an issue of Internet governance, and in that role provides an example of the dynamics of the 'Fifth Estate', a new social organization formed by networked individuals that is comparable to the press, as the Fourth Estate, of an earlier era. By re-framing the debate from one of crime to one of surveillance and privacy, networked individuals were able to enhance their communicative power in opposing Bill C30. While there is skepticism about the empowerment of networked individuals, and the emergence of a Fifth Estate, this case study points to the significance of both developments. The study also points out the need for more systematic research in a wider variety of economic and political settings worldwide, where the state has been influenced by the collective accountability of networked individuals of the Fifth Estate. |
