(Newser) – Syria’s authoritarian regime has been quick to lock up bloggers who tweak it even slightly, but it seems to have turned the other cheek as a flame war over masturbation has erupted. One blogger’s call for a crackdown on the evidently widespread “... Read full story »

Ai Weiwei: China Will Never Beat Internet

Censorship only builds pressure in Internet age, warns famous artist

(NEWSER) - Authoritarian societies are all about propaganda and control, but the Internet has destroyed both of those pillars, writes the famous Chinese artist Ai Weiwei in the Guardian . Unlike Russia's glasnost, China never really opened ideologically to the West, only practically. Then came the Internet, and thanks to blogs and microblogs—whether a silly post about breakfast or serious discussions of the news—people in China for the first time have gotten used to expressing themselves. "People have started to feel the breeze," writes Ai. More»

US Underwriting 'Shadow' Internet

Obama administration leading efforts to help dissidents

(NEWSER) - One of the ways Egypt , Syria , and other regimes crack down on protesters is by shutting down telecommunications networks—but soon they may no long be able to do so. The New York Times takes a close look at the global effort, led by the US, to create “shadow” Internet and mobile phone systems that could get around such tactics. One of the secretive projects sounds like something out of a James Bond flick: The “Internet in a suitcase,” funded by a $2 million State Department grant, can quickly be used to set up a wide area of wireless communication and link to the Internet.

Syria's Internet Shuts Down

Networks dark as protests against Assad intensify; 60 dead

(NEWSER) - As protesters took to the streets with renewed ferocity in Syria today, roughly two-thirds of the country’s Internet networks abruptly disappeared from global routing tables, Bloomberg reports. As of this morning, 40 of the country’s 59 networks were unreachable. One state-run site confirmed that the government had “cut off Internet service (3G, DSL, Dial-up) all across the country, including government institutions,” according to ZDNet . Later, the site said Internet was available in some places, but “broken” in Damascus, Aleppo and “the provinces.” More»

How Egypt Turned Off the Internet

Other regimes might be able to do the same thing

(NEWSER) - Conventional wisdom holds that the Internet is too resilient and decentralized for a government to simply shut it down, but Egypt managed to do just that, and engineers are just starting to realize how. Cairo controls—and was able to close off—the handful of lines that connect Egypt to the outside world, they tell New York Times . In theory, the domestic Internet was still running, but in practice, it was so interconnected with foreign servers that it ground to a screeching halt. More»

Content Reviewers See Worst of the Web

Too much of the Internet's dark side can affect mental health

(NEWSER) - Imagine spending your workday looking at the vilest images and videos the Internet has to offer. That's the lot of content reviewers, who fill an increasingly necessary role in an online world more and more driven by user-generated content. It's essential for social-networking sites to stay free of snuff videos and scat porn, but the people forced to look at the stuff all day can suffer adverse mental health consequences, reports the New York Times .
