"Legal and Policy Considerations for Federal Use of Web 2.0 Technology

"The Obama campaign set a new model for how to spread information through new media and social networking technologies such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and others. It also sparked imagination about how these Web 2.0 technologies could usher in a new era of government transparency and citizen participation.

But it hasn’t yet used these applications to the same extent it did previously, and that’s largely because it is now subject to federal laws and regulations regarding privacy, disability access, advertising, and other issues.

This paper addresses six key legal and policy issues that the Obama administration will have to address for WhiteHouse.gov and federal agency websites to use Web 2.0 widely and effectively."
