Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper examines the instantiation of power in the ability to control the flow of information. Powerful agents, be they governments, firms, individuals, or groups, are able to act effectively as gatekeepers, keeping secrets, preventing the intrusion of unwanted information, disseminating information at will, and acquiring desired information. Controlling information flows for individuals and groups is closely connected to notions of privacy; for firms, it involves trade secrets and proprietary data; and for governments, it ties into national security. Since the flow of information is mediated by information and communications technologies, having access to them, along with the intellectual capital required to use them effectively, have become important prerequisites for having power. The paper addresses the question of how current political economic structures reinforce or ameliorate disparities of power by creating opportunities and constraints for agents as information gatekeepers. The normative concerns explicated by Emmanuel Levinas provide the ethical context in which such power is made manifest.
