Top 10 List of Worldwide Internet Censors

Posted by Zonk on Sunday November 12, 2006 @07:35PM from the can't-stop-the-message dept.

PreacherTom writes "Reports of internet censorship are nothing new and are quite expected from countries whose leadership depends on controlling the popular worldview. Reporters Without Borders, a Paris group that does advocacy work for press freedom, puts a number to the trend with a list of the countries that it says go the furthest to censor the Internet. Photos document the worldwide protests and continuing struggles. Not surprisingly, China is described as the pioneer of internet censors, dedicating more resources than any other country to restrict online freedoms." This week we also discussed the Reporters Without Borders' 13 Enemies of the Internet list.

It was 13 not ten.

Don't mix your abstractions, the headline says "Top 10," not "Top Ten."

Base 13, dude. Base 13

I must be serious, because nobody makes jokes in base 13.
