Join us on Monday 18 March when
we'll hear from ORG&rsquo\;s executive director Jim Killock about the cur
rent state of digital censorship in the UK.
We'll consider findings
in ORG's new report on UK Internet regulation which reviews both formal a
nd informal pracitices of digital censorship in the UK.
When it com
es to web blocking\, the same rules do not apply online as offline. Many p
owers and practices the government employs to remove online content would
be deemed unacceptable if they were applied to offline publications.
We'll cover the following:
Formal censorship practices
- Copyr
ight blocking injunctions
- BBFC pornography blocking
Informal c
ensorship practices
- Nominet domain suspensions
- The Counter Terro
rism Internet Referral Unit (CTIRU)
The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF)
- ISP content filtering
There will be an opportunity to ask que
stions and to find out how to take action to fight digital censorship.
