Comment on Building FireStriker: Making Civic Tech Freeparent

Comments

Classic example of a problem we need to solve with policy instead of technology. The law isn’t even that hard:

1) Government authored/sponsored materials are not considered “published” until they are available in both human and machine readable digital formats at no cost to the reader.

2) Publications of such materials

2.1) must not keep a record of individual usage beyond that technically necessary to provide access to the publication

2.2) not withstanding 2.1, take reasonable steps to secure digital publications from abuse that creates an undue administrative burden
