Academics Take On Government Net Censorship

Posted by michael on from the it's-always-a-basement-lab dept.

Anonymous Brave Guy writes "There's an interesting article from the BBC today about a group of academics at the University of Toronto who are working to investigate and break down government-imposed censorship of the Internet. Are they defending human rights, or simply trying to impose their own beliefs on people from other cultures? Incidentally, one of their people was responsible for the previous Slashdot discussion of 'five fundamental problems with open source'."

    Why dont they ? Because they value security MORE than Freedom. Why the hell should I feel bad about some Marxist regimes censorship ? If THEY cared so much en-masse THEY would do something about it. THEY obviously dont care , why should I ?
