✴︎ blogGulfNews.com Report on ONI
There is a story in GulfNews about the ONI’s country report on Internet Filtering in the United Arab Emirates. Thanks to Neil Hrab for forwarding and pointing that out. I must say, though, that we certainly do not “praise” the UAE, that’s for sure. I don’t know where the guy got that from. All we…

✴︎ blogWIRED magazine infoporn pullout on ONI
The most recent issue (Issue 13.09, September 05) of WIRED magazine has an Infoporn pullout based on the OpenNet Initiative’s most recent country reports. I can’t seem to find it online, however, so I guess you’ll just have to fork out the cash and buy it at your local newstand.

✴︎ blogFuture Tense Radio Interview on China Internet
Here is a radio interview I did with Jon Gordon of Future Tense on the results of our China Internet Report. A good interview, I think, although I kind of sound like I’m talking from a bathroom. Maybe I should get myself a boom microphone for these interviews. I’ve archived the show locally here here.
