Internet Censorship: Enemies of the Internet

Internet Censorship: Enemies of the Internet

Internet Censorship: Enemies of the Internet Internet censorship is control or suppression of the publishing or accessing of information on the Internet. In 2010, Reporters without Borders (Paris-based international non-governmental organization that advocates freedom of the press) published a list of the “Enemies of the Internet.”

Egypt is on the Reporters Without Borders list of Enemies of the Internet, above all for harassing and arresting bloggers, but it has not as yet set up Internet filtering systems as Tunisia and Iran have done. The organization classifies a country as an enemy of the internet because “all of these countries mark themselves out not just for their capacity to censor news and information online but also for their almost systematic repression of Internet users.”
