FREEDOM HOUSE DELIVERS INTERNET FREEDOM ALERTS TO YOUR INBOX


Who are the latest bloggers to go to jail for their work? Which country is the worst at blocking Internet sites? How can you circumvent the censors?

Subscribe to "Internet Freedom Alert", a new publication of Freedom House's Global Internet Program, to get the latest on online developments relating to censorship, Internet governance and freedoms online.

In the most recent issue (4 April to 19 May), read about Egypt's Facebook revolution, a Syrian blogger who got three years in jail for undermining states, or how China, who leads the world in web censorship, relaxed its grip on the Internet and the media after the quake.

Also find out which events are happening in your neighbourhood, such as the Global Voices' Citizen Media Summit in Budapest, Hungary this June.

Events, opportunities and relevant links to stories sorted by issue and region/country are summarised from del.icio.us's Internet Freedom bookmarks site, which you can access here: http://del.icio.us/internetfreedom
