Day: November 11, 2004
I’m to talk to a class in International Journalism about Censorship on the Net on Wednesday. My plan is to talk about some specific instances and how they have played out. I’m not going back to the Scientology supression of USENET and of the anonymous remailers, but I may mention that. Here are the topics that I’m thinking of just now:
- great firewall of China — ibiblio’s specific experience
- Indymedia server siezure in UK — still ongoing Report from Nov 10, 2004
- Spain and Ogrish.com — is it or isn’t it
- Nazi materials in European countries
- porn in Australia (and other stuff by accident)
- Arresting techies from Open Society in Belarus
Is there anything I’m leaving out? Burma? err I guess I meant Myanmar. And don’t forget Wikipedia!
