Western internet censorship: The beginning of the end or the end of the
beginning?
,----[ Quote ]
| Shortly after 9pm on Tuesday March 24, Wikileaks related buildings in Dresden
| and Jena, were raided by 11 plain clothes German police.
|
| Why?
|
| Over the last two years, Wikileaks has exposed detailed secret government
| censorship lists or plans for over eight countries, including Thailand, the
| United Arab Emirates, Australia, and Germany.
|
| Although Wikileaks' main site has been censored by the Chinese Public
| Security Bureau since early 2007, last week saw the site placed onto a secret
| list of sites "forbidden" by the Australian Media and Communications
| Authority, or ACMA.
