Internet censorship

I ran across rumors of this a couple days ago, but finally found a blog with links.

Global Voices Online, a website that is "sponsored by and launched from the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at the Harvard Law School" describes a head-on collision between the Third World blogosphere and Third World courts.

The blog of the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism, or PCIJ, has made history — of sorts. Last week, the PCIJ was served with a court order to remove this Aug. 12, 2005 post related to an ongoing political scandal. ...

(it seems that while investigating the "hello garci" tapes, they mentioned someone had two wives, so the Philippine court forced them to remove the whole entry on their blog)....

Before anyone laughs too loudly, it is well to go to the Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG) project of the United Nations website, which is embarked on a crusade to liberate the Internet from United States nongovernance....

Summary: if the courts can remove a political post for insulting one of the wives, then soon they will find excuses to remove or govern all political posts...and the UN and the dictatorships trying to take over the web will allow such things to be done legally...
