Sur son site personnel, il publie ses mémoires d’une affaire de tentative de censure des newsgroups à Stanford. Ces barbus de l’informatique sont vraiment sympathiques.
THE REC.HUMOR.FUNNY CENSORSHIP AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY (23-Oct-2002)

10. President Donald Kennedy of Stanford refers issue to Academic Senate. When I visit him to complain, he suggests that the Steering Committee of the Senate will refer the matter to a committee for a recommendation, e.g. the Committee on Research. I don’t think newsgroups were a matter of research and don’t like the fact that Street is an ex-officio member of that committee. It occurred to me that the Committee on Libraries would be more appropriate, since the traditions of freedom of speech and press apply as much to electronic media as to print media.
