The Great Firewall of China provides an update on China's internet censorship situation, linking to a fascinating piece of research done about exactly what sites are and are not blocked etc.
Its amazing what joys you can find crawling the net. Actually its amazing I could download the report too! Find it here. Actually i agree with most of it, especially that commerical competition is encouraging people/companies to take more risks about crossing the (often, self inflicted) line.
Lots of interesting stuff about blocking of emails, weblogs, University BBSs etc. or at least i think so!
p.s. There certainly is a strong argument for protecting children from the internet, from violent games and from the general 'internet obsessed' culture that can be bad for them; i think one of the main reasons for closing down internet cafes in the past has been because of the movies, games etc which they were providing access for children.
without nomadlife.org we cannot view our weblogs from blogspot! thanks to censorship, of course!
