México D.F., 12 de Marzo de 2010 (RSF).- Reporteros Sin Fronteras (RSF) celebra el Día Mundial Contra la Censura en Internet el 12 de marzo. Este evento busca que se apoye la idea de un Internet único para todos, sin restricciones y accesible universalmente. Esto significa poner anteción en que al crear nuevos espacios para el intercambio de ideas e información Internet es un medio clave para la libertad de expresion; sin embargo, es por ello que muchos gobiernos han restringido su uso y buscan controlarlo. Traducción por Cencos, a continuación lee el comunicado en Ingles.

World Day Against Cyber Censorship

Reporters Without Borders will mark the occasion by issuing its latest list of “Enemies of the Internet.” This list points the finger at countries such as Iran, China, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam and Tunisia that restrict online access and harass their netizens. A list of countries that have been placed “under surveillance” for displaying a disturbing attitude towards the Internet will also be released.

Reporters Without Borders will award the first “Netizen Prize,” with support from Google, at 7 p.m. on 11 March 2010, on the eve of World Day Against Cyber Censorship. The prize will be given to an Internet user, blogger or cyber-dissident who has made a notable contribution to the defence of online freedom of expression. The award ceremony will take place at the Paris headquarters of Google France.

Reporters Without Borders has designed a logo to symbolise the defence of online free expression. It represents a computer mouse freeing itself from its chains. The logo can be downloaded free of charge and is available in various colours. Do you want to show your support for World Day against Cyber-Censorship?
