Reporters without Borders: “Internet Enemies 2010″

Reporters without Borders, 12 March 2011

Reporters without Borders — Paris-based press freedom group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has released a new report on Internet censorship and clampdowns on advocates of free speech in twenty-two countries around the world. RSF has singled out the world’s twelve biggest “Internet enemies”- countries where the national authorities have imposed particularly aggressive measures on web censorship and dissident Internet writers.

Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Tunisia, Burma, China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Vietnam, are the top countries that allegedly practice the most extensive Internet censorship in the world, earning RSF’s title “Internet enemies.”
