Reporters without frontiers continues its expose of online censorship with its latest report,the enemy within which was published yesterday.

You can download the report in full HERE

According to the report

“The 12 ‘Enemies of the Internet’ - Burma, China, Cuba, Egypt, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Vietnam - have all transformed their Internet into an Intranet in order to prevent their population from accessing ‘undesirable’ online information,”


But also notes that other countries are also being closely monitored including Australia whose Parliament introduced a draft law to require internet service providers to provide two connection per household but also require strict monitoring of those connections.
