NYT - China’s Censorship Machine Takes On the Internet
The New York Times reports: "Today, China censors everything from the traditional print press to domestic and foreign Internet sites; from cellphone text messages to social networking services; from online chat rooms to blogs, films and e-mail. It even censors online games. That’s not all. Not content merely to block dissonant views, the government increasingly employs agents to peddle its views online, in the guise of impartial bloggers and chat-room denizens."

Comment: The internet can no longer be assumed to be a tool for liberating the oppressed and exposing the oppressors. It can be that, as we saw in Iran, but it can also be a tool of oppression and repression. Our only real hope is that dissidents, human rights activists, missionaries, resistors and others interested him human liberty can use technology to stay one step ahead...of technology.
