Reflections on “Consent of the Networked”

As we previously considered our reactions to The Master Switch we should also do the same thing for Consent of the Networked by Rebecca MacKinnon.  As before, you can present your thoughts in any format or organization that makes sense to you, but address the following questions in your post:

What do you think MacKinnon’s point was in writing this book? Does she have a personal agenda? If so, what was it?
How persuasive are her arguments?  Do you buy them? If yes – why? If not, what are your counter arguments?
How have your personal perceptions on the openness of the internet been impacted by reading Consent of the Networked?
