Chicago freight tunnel 1910, Source: Blankfaze/Wikimedia Commons Unbeknownst to them, they were working right over an old freight tunnel that ran beneath the river. In 1991, a construction company drove wooden pilings into the bed of the Chicago River. Some buildings on the tunnel system blocked up their entrances to the tunnels. By the 1950s though, the freight tunnels were hardly used and were forgotten. The tunnels were used to deliver coal, merchandise, mail and even money from various banks. Beneath Chicago's streets lies a vast network of freight tunnels that were built during the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Monday morning, April 13, 1992, should have been just another day in The Loop, which is home to the city's seat of government, the State of Illinois' seat of government, the Chicago Board of Trade, which is one of the world's oldest futures and options exchanges, and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, which is a global derivatives marketplace.įor decades, workers in the Loop had heard rumors of a secret tunnel system running beneath the Loop, and it turns out, those rumors were true.

The report concludes with recommendations for actions to promote and protect an open and free internet in Turkey The framework was developed by the Association for Progressive Communications and is based on the work of the former United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Opinion and Expression Frank La Rue.Then, in June 2018 Musk's company was selected by the City of Chicago to create a tunnel that would run from O'Hare International Airport to downtown Chicago. The assessment is based on the La Rue framework and focuses on internet regulation, internet access, blocking, surveillance, liability of internet intermediaries, criminalisation of legitimate expression, and cyber-attacks. The IGF is a space that strives for a democratic and inclusive internet and this report assesses the Turkish government’s respect for international human rights standards in relation to freedom of expression online. This report presents an up-to-date assessment of internet rights in Turkey, and has been prepared to coincide with the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) 2014 which is being hosted by Turkey in Istanbul from 2–5 September 2014. This report surveys all of the tests and studies that have been done and provides an exhaustive source of information on the deeply flawed and problematic use of Internet filters. Internet filters were - and remain - crude and error-prone because they categorize expression without regard to its context, meaning, and value.
The sheer size of the Internet meant that identifying potentially offensive content had to be done mechanically, by matching “key” words and phrases hence, the blocking of Web sites for “Middlesex County,” “Beaver College,” and “breast cancer” – just three of the better-known among thousands of examples of overly broad filtering.
The problem was intrinsic to filtering technology. By the end of the decade, a new industry had emerged to create and market Internet filters. In response, entrepreneurs soon developed filtering products. No sooner was the Internet upon us in the 1990s than anxiety arose over the ease of accessing pornography and other controversial content. Every new technology brings with it both excitement and anxiety.
