Net Attack

As the story goes, one of the main design concepts of the internet was to have a communications system that could survive a nuclear attack. Fortunately that feature was never directly tested. Now we are in the process of finding out whether or not the internet can stand up to sustained bureaucratic attacks.

Internet Crackdown in China

Yahoo vs. French yahoos

California Real Estate restrictions

Blogger detained in Bahrain

No private registration for US domains

Iranian Blogger Sentenced to Prison

Canadian Coverup

Harrassment of Malaysian Bloggers

ADDITION: Utah blog registration

At least nuclear warheads can be dismantled...

Nice roundup. :)

Ultimately, though, the internet *is* anonymous. Regarding those who got arrested... they should have been using chained proxies, and possibly encryption. Maybe we should start a campaign to educate those in oppressed countries about subverting internet surveillance?

Speaking of internet attacks.
