This document discusses internet censorship and the role of governments. It notes that governments worldwide are trying to control the flow of information on the internet. It outlines some of the collaborative and regulatory mechanisms used by governments to influence internet content, such as working with pro-government individuals and other nations/organizations, as well as implementing laws and policies to block or restrict access to certain websites and applications. The document provides some examples of internet censorship practices in countries like China, South Korea, Myanmar, and European nations.
This document summarizes key internet freedom developments in Colombia from June 2014 to May 2015. It notes that while internet access is steadily increasing, obstacles like poor infrastructure, lack of development, and high costs still hamper widespread access. When online, users can generally access and share content freely, though prosecutions under defamation laws are rare but pose serious risks to user rights. The document also discusses debates around issues like government surveillance, net neutrality, and zero-rating programs.
This document discusses the risks posed by offender computer use and strategies for managing those risks. It notes that criminals increasingly use technology and the internet to facilitate criminal plans and activities. To address this, many states have passed laws restricting computer and internet use for offenders, especially sex offenders. The document recommends a comprehensive approach to computer management for offenders that includes: 1) accurate knowledge of offender's computer access, 2) monitoring offender computer use through searches and/or monitoring software, 3) online investigations by officers, 4) using complementary technologies like GPS monitoring, and 5) continued home visits and interviews. It argues that with proper training, probation and parole officers are capable of developing the expertise needed to effectively manage cyber-risk posed by offenders.
The document summarizes internet filtering in Iran. It discusses:
1) Iran has one of the most extensive internet filtering systems in the world, with a centralized system augmenting filtering at the ISP level. It now uses domestically produced technology to identify and block sites.
2) Speech is heavily regulated in Iran, with limits on topics like religion, morality, politics. The internet was initially less regulated but is now more closely monitored, especially after the 2009 elections.
3) Efforts to control online speech rely on filtering and legal threats. New regulatory agencies have been created and the Revolutionary Guard now plays an active role in enforcement. This exacerbates self-censorship online.
1) The document discusses IT4Youth, an internet development project in the Palestinian Territories aimed at enhancing the learning and employment skills of Palestinian youth.
2) It is a collaborative effort between Palestinian and international NGOs and organizations like the Intel Corporation, but has faced criticisms of Americanizing Palestinian society through requirements for English proficiency, influence of American capital, and uncritical adoption of neoliberal development strategies.
3) While internet development could offer opportunities, it has also increased Palestinian dependency on Western countries and led to profits being repatriated offshore rather than benefiting Palestinian economic development.
This document discusses the history and development of internet pornography from its origins in the early 1990s through modern times. It defines pornography and outlines how early systems like bulletin board systems distributed pornographic images and files before the World Wide Web. The rise of the internet in the early 1990s led to a boom in online pornography. While there are legal issues and downsides like child pornography, the document also argues that internet pornography has benefited technology and reduced violent crimes due to increased availability.
Internet Content Regulation: What it means in 2010Wendy Qi
The document discusses internet content regulation around the world. It defines internet content regulation and provides an overview of regulation from 1958 to 2010. It then examines which countries regulate internet content the most, why regulation occurs, and the primary methods of regulation including technical, legal, and self-censorship approaches. Case studies on regulation in China, Iran, and France are also presented.
China’s Internet Security _Dichotomy of National Security and Human Rights in...Emily Võ
This document discusses China's approach to internet security and the tension with human rights and relations with the United States. China tightly controls internet access and censors information deemed threatening to national security. This has led to censorship of political dissent and restrictions on human rights. Other Southeast Asian countries like Vietnam are adopting similar policies. While China views this as protecting national security, others see it as infringing on freedom of expression. The United States promotes internet freedom but has faced hypocrisy claims due to NSA surveillance practices. Overall, the document examines the dichotomy between national security and human rights in China's internet policies and their geopolitical implications.
This document discusses cybercrime and human trafficking in Mexico. It finds that social networks and the internet are now primary means for human traffickers to target victims. Mexico has become the second largest center for human trafficking in the world, much of which involves the sexual exploitation of women and children. The document recommends ways for people to protect themselves online and urges the Mexican government to strengthen laws against human trafficking and prioritize protecting victims.

The document discusses several key issues related to privacy in the information age:
- Personal data from many major data breaches and hacks has been exposed, including information from Target, Home Depot, Anthem, and the OPM, putting millions of individuals at risk.
- Countries like China, Russia, and the US have significant cyber capabilities and have been accused of hacking for political and economic gains. China in particular has penetrated many US corporations.
- Laws and policies intended to enable surveillance like Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act and Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act have been criticized for being overly broad and not properly overseen.

Privacy in the Information Age [Q3 2015 version]Jordan Peacock
Three key points:
1. The document discusses privacy concerns in the information age, noting increased data collection by both government and private organizations and the lack of adequate legal protections and oversight.
2. Issues addressed include mass surveillance programs, vulnerabilities in internet infrastructure, lack of security practices, and implications for privacy internationally. Countries like the US, China, and Russia are described as major cyber actors.
3. Potential solutions proposed include reforming US surveillance laws, establishing international privacy agreements, incentivizing better security by companies, and consumers practicing layered personal security strategies, though individual options are limited against structural issues. Overall the document outlines growing threats to privacy from inadequate policy responses.
IGF Hyderabad - Index of Global Internet FreedomFreedom House
The document summarizes the Index of Global Internet Freedom (IGIF) pilot study. It finds that while some repressive governments allow internet freedom, many are increasing censorship and monitoring. IGIF aims to measure obstacles to access, limits on content and communication, and violations of individual online rights in countries. The pilot study of 15 countries found some repressive states scored better on internet freedom than traditional media freedom. IGIF can help track trends in restrictions and advocacy responses over time.
The document discusses the international efforts to combat online child exploitation through task forces and investigations. It describes the Innocent Images International Task Force formed in 2004 with members from over 20 countries. It also discusses several international investigations that have led to arrests in multiple countries and the rescue of abused children. Finally, it outlines some of the key federal laws and initiatives in the United States to address online child pornography and protect children.
Internet Freedom & Internet Bill of RightsFreedom House
This document discusses internet freedom and press freedom around the world. It provides an overview of Freedom House's methodology for analyzing these issues and rating countries. It also summarizes regional trends, finding that while the internet has potential to increase openness, many governments actively censor and restrict online content and access to maintain control. Repressive regimes employ a variety of methods like blocking websites and requiring user registration.

THE INCLUSIVE INTERNET INDEX: Bridging digital dividesPeerasak C.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Twenty years after the internet began to change people’s lives, less than half of the world’s population is able to benefit from it. Even in some developed countries, up to one-fifth of the population is still offline, either unable to use the internet or unconvinced of its value.
The ranks of the unconnected are far larger in the developing world. As the developed world becomes ever more active online, the persistence of digital divides is likely to constrain poorer countries’ development.
The burgeoning use of mobile phones across the developing world has been an equaliser of sorts, enabling internet access to millions who would otherwise be excluded. Connectivity alone, however, is not enough to ensure that people are able to benefit from the internet. As this study argues, the internet must also be relevant, and people must have the skills and confidence to use it. An inclusive internet, in other words, is widely available, affordable and allows usage that promotes positive social and economic outcomes. Inclusion may be defined as the sum of actions taken by government, commercial firms and civic organisations in a country to make this a reality.
The Inclusive Internet Index assesses the enabling environment for the adoption and beneficial use of the internet in 75 countries. It finds that, while high levels of wealth and economic development contribute much to a strongly inclusive environment, several middle-income countries are successfully building key enablers, such as relevant content, digital literacy and policy. This shows that countries with lower levels of economic development nevertheless have levers with which to boost internet inclusion available to them.
The document discusses the history of censorship and access to information. It covers how totalitarian states censor information at the production point while capitalism censors at the distribution point. It also discusses cases like IBM aiding apartheid South Africa and hackers providing alternative technologies in response. The concept of information wanting to be free is explored, with the tension between information being valuable yet the cost to access it decreasing. South Africa's constitution protects access to information and privacy.
The document discusses the internet in Brazil and its importance for Brazil's development. It explains that while the internet and fiber optic cables are transforming the global economy, Brazil has been slow to develop high-speed internet connectivity and mobile services due to poor strategy. This has weakened Brazil's progress. It also highlights some small internet service providers in remote areas like Amazônia that are pioneering connectivity through innovative solutions like radio links and solar power.
Data localization requirements are on the rise around the world as governments seek to limit the flow of data across national borders. The document analyzes data localization measures in 16 countries and the European Union. It finds that countries are implementing a wide variety of measures from explicit requirements to store data locally to indirect measures like requiring consent for cross-border data transfers. The measures are driven by concerns over foreign surveillance, privacy, security and law enforcement. However, the document argues that data localization is likely to backfire and undermine rather than enhance these goals.
1) The document summarizes China's internet policy recommendation which aims to control sensitive information and encourage economic development. It outlines laws that ban "harmful" content to maintain social stability and the communist party's view.
2) The policy allows the government to charge citizens with criminal offenses for undefined crimes. It gives the government broad power to intervene in cultural identity and information flow.
3) While China embraces the internet for economic reasons, its strict content regulations have faced international criticism for disadvantaging foreign companies and restricting human rights.

The main objective of this study is to analyze the role of
Information Communication technology in facilitating human
trafficking in Rwanda. Specifically,
(1) To analyze the influence of technology in facilitating
human trafficking in Rwanda.
(2) To analyze the extent to which Rwanda has been able to
combat human trafficking using technology.
This document discusses violence against children in cyberspace. It defines cyberspace as the virtual universe created by computers and information technology. A child is defined as anyone under 18 years old. Several types of violence that can occur to children online are discussed, including cybersex, fraud, bullying, and exposure to occult or bad spiritual practices. The effects of this violence on children can include psychological harm, demonic possession, physical harm like suicide, and antisocial behavior. The document examines whether society is aware of or guilty about this problem. It outlines measures being taken by churches, parents, communities, and children themselves to address the issue.
The Congressional International Anti-Piracy Caucus identifies Canada, China, Mexico, Russia, and Spain as countries of concern for copyright piracy in 2010. The document summarizes ongoing intellectual property protection issues in each country, such as lack of enforcement, legal loopholes exploited by pirates, physical and online piracy problems, and calls upon governments to strengthen laws and step up enforcement efforts against piracy.
The document summarizes issues related to the Australian government's attempt to censor internet content through the Broadcasting Services Amendment (Online Services) Bill 1999. It discusses debates around justifying censorship, whether internet pornography is a major community concern, and the enforceability of the bill. Regarding justification, it finds little empirical evidence that pornography alone causes harm to adults. On community concern, it notes no comprehensive study exists but available evidence suggests pornography is not a pressing issue. It also questions whether existing laws are adequate. The document raises significant doubts about the bill's enforceability given the nature of the internet.
The document discusses cyberbullying and perspectives from different countries. It begins by outlining key issues around cyberbullying such as definitions, causes, impact, and responses. It then provides details on laws and approaches to cyberbullying in Australia, Canada, the US, India, and South Korea. Specifically, it notes that South Korea has struggled with cyberbullying due to high internet usage but that laws requiring real names were ruled unconstitutional. The document concludes by suggesting possible courses of action for parents, schools, social media sites, and governments.
The document discusses the global digital divide and factors that influence countries' access to and use of the internet. It presents four hypotheses: 1) Nations with larger urban populations will see faster internet growth. 2) Higher fertility rates will slow internet development while more young adults will promote it. 3) Economic development reduces the positive impact of democratization on internet access. 4) Political conflict undermines internet growth. The conclusion finds that reducing fertility, preventing violence, and embracing the internet even in authoritarian states can help countries increase participation in the global digital network. However, the study has limitations like not examining usage demographics or intensity within countries.
The document discusses several aspects of internet safety including information security issues like viruses and privacy issues. It also discusses regulating obscene content and false information online. It describes international efforts through the UN and WSIS to address internet governance and build confidence in internet use. However, perceptions of threats may outweigh the actual risks to minors online. Proposed legislation to require data retention raises privacy and civil liberties concerns. Striking a balance between open access and protecting vulnerable groups is important for innovation.
This document discusses China's role in creating international rules and regulations for managing cyberspace. While China has proposed an international code of conduct on cybersecurity to the UN, there is friction between China's authoritarian control over information and liberal democratic values of transparency and openness. The paper will analyze the extent to which China can constructively contribute to international cyber governance given differences between China and Western countries in their approaches to cyber security and information control.
This document discusses trends in cybercrime and argues that global cyberspace is safer than commonly believed. It analyzes data on the size of cyberspace, vectors of cyber attacks, occurrence of attacks, and costs of attacks. When normalized for the growing size of cyberspace, the security situation improves rather than deteriorates. Absolute numbers often incorrectly indicate things are getting worse, but normalized numbers show improvements, or slower rates of deterioration. Overall, cybercrime statistics normalized for the expanding online environment show that global cyberspace is far safer than portrayed by media reports and security firms.
The document discusses several key issues related to privacy in the information age:
- Personal data from many major data breaches and hacks has been exposed, including information from Target, Home Depot, Anthem, and the OPM, putting millions of individuals at risk.

The document discusses using project management and technology to address domestic minor sex trafficking. It notes that a diverse committee was formed in 2011 to address the problem, and that a project manager would be valuable to oversee the varied backgrounds and perspectives involved. Stage 1 of the plan would involve research and training to develop programs to address the issue. The document also discusses how information technology could be leveraged to collect data, monitor trafficking activity, and help law enforcement respond more effectively given the role of the internet and mobile devices in facilitating trafficking. While technology enables trafficking, it could also be used as part of the solution if developed and applied carefully and ethically.

Running head surveillance state research1 page 2runningSHIVA101531
This document contains three articles about state surveillance. The first article discusses China's extensive surveillance system using facial recognition and security cameras, which has been criticized by other nations. The second article discusses how governments have adopted technological surveillance of citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic to monitor compliance with public health laws and regulations. The third article argues that widespread digital surveillance is already occurring through devices like phones, TVs and IoT devices that can listen to conversations without users' knowledge, compromising privacy.
Social media has become deeply ingrained in our lives and influences many aspects of communication and business. Statistics show that social networking sites could soon have more users than India's population, and people spend around 6 hours per month on social platforms. Social media is now used across various sectors for tasks like public policy, marketing, health outreach, and more. It has become an important tool for public figures, organizations, and individuals to engage with audiences.
The document discusses internet censorship in China and around the world. It notes that the Chinese government extensively censors the internet to control information and limit dissent that could threaten its authority. The government monitors internet users and restricts access to websites with sensitive or political content. Other countries also engage in some degree of internet censorship, though China's system is particularly comprehensive in scope. The document examines the Chinese government's motivations for its censorship policies and their impact on issues like commerce and human rights.
Digital technology has transformed organizational life. Developments in communications, and in information storage and retrieval, to name just two areas, have greatly enhanced the efficiency with which legitimate organizations operate. Unfortunately, the benefits of digital technology are not lost on criminal organizations, which exploit digital technology to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of their own operations. This paper will discuss the organized criminal exploitation of digital technology, by looking at a number of illustrative cases from Asia and around the world. It will discuss the various types of “conventional†organized crime that can be facilitated by digital technology, as well as terrorism, which itself can be regarded as a special kind of organized criminal activity. One fundamental question that the paper will seek to address is whether the activities of Asian organized crime have become substantively different as a result of technology, or whether traditional organized criminal activities in Asia are merely being conducted on a more efficient and effective basis. The paper will note the transnational nature of much organized criminal activity, and will discuss mechanisms for the control of organized crime in the digital age. Dr. S. Krishnan | Mr Harsh Pratap | Ms Sakshi Gupta "Organised Crime in the Digital Age" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-5 | Issue-4 , June 2021, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.compapers/ijtsrd41185.pdf Paper URL: https://www.ijtsrd.comcomputer-science/computer-security/41185/organised-crime-in-the-digital-age/dr-s-krishnan
