The Open Society Institute and Asia Society hosted an event with Open Society Fellows Rebecca MacKinnon and Evgeny Morozov that explored the changing landscape of Internet censorship. Special attention was given to the techniques employed by governments to co-opt and steer online discussions in ideologically convenient directions. Focusing on the specific cases of Russia and China, the panelists discussed how the strategies and tools of control, manipulation, and censorship have evolved in both countries.

  • Very superficial and disappointing. They did nothing to explain how all this really impacts lives. Maybe in China you cannot google such triviality as "Tienanmen massacre" but in US you cannot find real rate of unemployment. In first case censors hide stuff behind explicit blockades, in second, its hidden by intentionally constructed complexity. During riots in France few years ago it was obvious that informations were stifled systematically. Casualties in Iraq censored?

    Hypocrites and fools.
