rekrowyalp writes "From the press release: 'The United States is pleased
to announce that it will [0]host UNESCO's World Press Freedom Day event
in 2011. The United States places technology and innovation at the
forefront of its diplomatic and development efforts. New media has
empowered citizens around the world to report on their circumstances,
express opinions on world events, and exchange information in
environments sometimes hostile to such exercises of individuals' right to
freedom of expression. At the same time, we are concerned about the
determination of some governments to censor and silence individuals, and
to restrict the free flow of information.' Oh the irony."
