The
Institute for Internet and Society at Berlin's Humboldt University will tackle
issues such as Internet privacy, freedom of expression and civil liberties.
Google Inc.
has committed €4.5 million ($6.26 million) to the institute for the first three
years as part of its recent push to invest in Germany, which has often been
critical of the Internet giant's practices.
Google vice
president David Drummond expressed hope Tuesday that the institute "will
be based on a philosophy of openness, open access, standards and an ability to
innovation."
