After this morning I’ve just remembered another internet project from my early days: the Internet Emergency Broadcast Network. In the wake of the Communications Decency Act, folks from the Center for Democracy and Technology (probably Jonah Seiger), Voters Telecommunications Watch (probably Shabbir Safdar), and (I think?) Wired or maybe HotWired, and I posited that the IEBN would provide an image URL for people to inline on their own websites. The image itself would have changed based upon current governmental actions regarding the internet and actions people could take. I don’t think anything ever actually came of it, but I remember at least one meeting South of Market to discuss it.
