Ideas for research

After reading the articles on authorship, plagiarism and audience, i started to think about the flap that went over wikipedia andentry changes. Just like any type of media, it has the chance to be taken advantage of. I believe that there were instances of entries being changed by the united states federal government. Now i suppose there are ways that it tracks user edits to act as a resource. In other events in new media, the united states surpreme court upheld a court ruling where a wiki called wikileak had to be shut down. what the site provided was a place for whistle blowers to expose government secrets anonymously.anyways as raw story says(which has a notoriety of itself) it revealed money laundering of swiss banks groups. i read over the article headline but i'm not sure how deep teh story goes.http://wikileaks.org.uk/wiki/Wikileaks
and going along hte lines of that in new media... there's the amendment that was vetoed by the senate to hold the telecommunications company accountable for giving user information to the government. All these are still grey areas as the government tries to navigate technologythat waits for no one. maybe there's a good research question on communication in there...
