By Reading about the subject of my previous post; Sayed Pervez Kambaksh, got me thinking about how censorship of the internet affects people around the world and led me to discover the following sites:
The OpenNet Initiative's aim is to investigate, expose and analyze Internet filtering and surveillance practices in a credible and non-partisan fashion and to uncover the potential pitfalls and unintended consequences of these practices.
Reporters Without Frontiers has fought for press freedom on a daily basis since it was founded in 1985. All the organisation's press releases and publications are available online in five languages (Arabic, English, French, Spanish and Persian) at its website which keeps a daily-updated list of journalists killed or imprisoned around the world. It also contains detailed reports on special cases and invites the public to sign online petitions for the release of jailed journalists.
Wikileaks is an uncensorable Wikipedia for untraceable mass document leaking and analysis. They expose oppressive regimes in Asia, the former Soviet bloc, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. They are also of assistance to people of all regions who wish to reveal unethical behavior in their governments and corporations.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has championed the public interest in every critical battle affecting digital rights since it was founded in July 1990.
