OpenNet Initiative Releases Report
This morning the Open Net Initiative released its latest report, "Internet Filtering in Burma in 2005." The report documents the degree and extent to which the government of Burma controls the information environment in which its citizens live, including websites, blogs, email, and online discussion forums.
ONI's research found that the Burmese state seeks to maintain the capability to conduct surveillance of communication methods such as email, and to block users from viewing Web sites of political opposition groups, organizations working for democratic change in Burma, and pornographic material.
The New York Times covered the report in an article out this morning:
