Letting the good stuff through

Most of us would be happy to see child pornography blocked online but a too-tight regulatory system would be bad for freedom of speech. Reporters Without Borders have produced a new report, "The Internet Under Surveillance Obstacles To The Free Flow Of Information Online", to examine these issues.

Find out about the report at http://www.rsf.org/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=378report and find the report itself in PDF at http://www.rsf.org/IMG/pdf/doc-2236.pdf. You can also read country-specific sections. Australia's is at http://www.rsf.org/article.php3?id_article=7233. Posted by belinda at July 2, 2003 10:06 AM
