Global battle rages for information control on the internet; government security agencies worldwide running scared of power of free speech and power of free association online
There are clampdowns on Facebook in Syria. In Saudi Arabia, police have started to visit internet cafés to ensure that the owners have installed cameras to monitor users, as Saudi law requires. In Jordan, internet café owners have to record their customers' names and monitor the websites they visit. A popular social networking site called Orkut is offline in the United Arab Emirates. The BBC's Persian website cannot be accessed from inside Iran. Search engines Google and Yahoo have caved into to censorship restrictions demanded by China. But there is good news for internet-mediated free speech and information exchange. Psiphon software allows internet users to bypass censorship controls such as those imposed by China on communication from abroad. Tor software is designed to disguise a message's origin by bouncing it between several different routers, and Herdict software enables users to report sites they find blocked.
