On September 19, Privacy International and the GreenNet Education Trust released their report, Silenced: an international report on censorship and control of the Internet. Among the report's major conclusions are (1) that internet censorship is commonplace around the world, and increasing, (2) that the 9/11 attacks have been used to justify restrictions previously rejected, (3) that censorship in developing nations is implemented by technologies developed and sold by the Western democracies, and (4) that corporations will soon surpass governments as threats to internet freedoms.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
