OpenNet Initiative Report: Filtering in China

On April 14, 2005 the OpenNet Initiative (ONI) will release its long-awaited report, "Internet Filtering in China in 2004-2005" at the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission's public hearing on China's State Control Mechanisms and Methods. "Internet Filtering in China in 2004-2005" documents the degree to which the Chinese government controls and manipulaties the information environment in which its citizens live, including websites, blogs, email, and online discussion forums.  Since ONI last released a report on filtering in China in 2002, the Chinese government has developed far more sophisticated filtering techniques.
