"The Future of Internet Freedom" (Eric E. Schmidt and Jared Cohen)
http://j.mp/1dQF46i (New York Times)
The details aren't pretty. In Russia, the government has blocked tens
of thousands of dissident sites; at times, all WordPress blogs and
Russian Wikipedia have been blocked. In Vietnam, a new law called
Decree 72 makes it illegal to digitally distribute content that
opposes the government, or even to share news stories on social media.
And in Pakistan, sites that were available only two years ago - like
Tumblr, Wikipedia and YouTube - are increasingly replaced by
unconvincing messages to "Surf Safely."
