Anonymous (Name Withheld on Advice of Counsel) writes "Professor Jonathan Zittrain and I are studying Internet filtering in countries worldwide, including restrictions on Web access in China. As in our prior testing of Saudi Arabia, there exists no publicly available master list of blocked sites. To assemble something approaching such a list, we have found ways to remotely test "twenty questions" style, asking about thousands of individual URLs, whether based upon a domain name or an IP address.
We today released a report detailing the results of testing over the past eight months. We tested more than two hundred thousand web sites, and we found nearly twenty thousand to be inaccessible from China. Highlights include sites operated by world governments, non-governmental organizations, and educational institutions -- as well as sites with health, entertainment, and political content.
Our report is available at

We continue to operate a system for real-time testing of filtering in China

The Federal Judiciary?
SourceForge?
The Learning Channel?
Mississippi?
I've love to be a fly on the wall in the smoke-filled room where these decisions are hashed out.
This would be hilarious if it wasn't so disturbing. Seems almost Borgesian [directory.google.com], doesn't it? |
