Subject: Who are the enemies of the Internet?

Hi,

    Transfert.net recently wrote a report about the "ennemies of the
    internet" that has been published by Reporter Without Borders, an
    NGO dedicated to fight for journalists' rights.

    59 countries have been surveyed, both démocratic and
    non-democratic, as censorship, cybersurveillance and threats to
    civil liberties covers both of those.

    This report, previoulsy released in french, has been translated in
    english and is both available online on RSF's website, or in
    digital and paper formats which can be purchased at 00h00.com.

    As I closely look at the informations you deal with, this could
    interest your readers.

    Regards,
    jmm

---------------
The Internet has radically changed the traditional balance of power
between governments and those who produce information. Governments,
over-whelmed by these complex issues, are on the defensive. They all
want the Internet, but dream of a network under their control. For the
first time on, Reporters without borders and Transfert. Net issued a
report which is an inquiry about the restrictions implemented to block
the free circulation of information in fifty-nine countries, that is,
in western democracies as well as in developing countries.
