A Birds-Eye View of Online Censorship

Posted by timothy on from the all-in-one-place dept.

Felipe Rodriquez writes "I've written a paper about online censorship, providing a bird's eye view of online censorship and the technologies that are used to implement censorship. My conclusion is that a limited form of online censorship is possible in repressive countries such as China and Saudi Arabia, but virtually impossible to implement in democratic nations. I'm interested in any lucid comments, ideas and criticism."
