Internet censorship
Every time I see that information-revolution advert on television I’m think “I really must write that piece about Irrepressible.info, an Amnesty International campaign”.
So here you have it…
So much money is spent on taking market share (not just by search engines) and not enough on empowering people to actually see and interact with the Web in the first place:
Chat rooms monitored. Blogs deleted. Websites blocked. Search engines restricted. People imprisoned for simply posting and sharing information.
Censoring web access if rife throughout our world, the acronym WWW hardy rings true in today, perhaps we should use Most of the World Wide Web instead (MWWW).
Read more about which countries’ governments are restricting Internet access or check out this handy Internet censorship map from OpenNet - complete with mouseovers for more information, it’s quote detailed and very interesting.
So, back to Irrepressible.info, if you don’t agree with what’s going on, visit Irrepressible.info and sign their petition.
