Internet censorship around the world

Posted by nkv
Tags: internet, censorship, restriction

Greeting everyone!

I think this is the best category to ask that kind of question. I am looking for website/blog/author which provides information regarding new restriction on the internet. For example in China, Iran, Russia and etc...

Any good sources to get fresh information (In English).

    For China, https://en.greatfire.org seems to be pretty reliable and informative as to what is blocked and what is going on with the great firewall.

      In addition, Blocked on Weibo is a very interesting read on why certain terms are blocked one of China's biggest social media platforms.

    You should check out Michael Geist. He's a Canadian lawyer and academic who covers net neutrality, privacy, copyright, lawful access and internet laws in general. A lot of his focus is on Canada...

    A lot of his focus is on Canada but he also covers international issues.

    In Russia who controls censorship of the internet is Roskomnadzor. Their web-site has English version, so it can a little help to you.

      https://meduza.io/en doesn't specifically deal with censorship, but it features reports about censorship in Russia. Can't speak to its reliability, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meduza
