kratei writes "The BBC is running a report discussing the [0]Reporters
Without Borders internet annual report 2006. The RWB study details and
decries [1]the rising tide of net censorship and lays the blame squarely
on the west as the source for the technology that allows repressive
regimes to stifle freedom on the web." From the article: "China's success
at censorship means it has effectively produced a "sanitised" version of
the internet for its 130 million citizens that regularly go online. The
wide-ranging scrutiny also means that it is the biggest jailer of
so-called cyber dissidents. RSF estimates that 62 people in China have
been jailed for what they said online. "
