Access controlled : the shaping of power rights and rule in cyberspace Internet filtering censorship of Web content and online surveillance are increasing in scale scope and sophistication around the world in democratic countries as well as in authoritarian states. The first generation of Internet controls consisted largely of building firewalls at key Internet gateways; Chinas famous Great Firewall of China is one of the first national Internet filtering systems. Today the new tools for Internet controls that are emerging go beyond mere denial of information. These new techniques which aim to normalize (or even legalize) Internet control include targeted viruses and the strategically timed deployment of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks surveillance at key points of the Internets infrastructure take down notices stringent terms of usage policies and national information shaping strategies. Access Controlled reports on this new normative terrain. The book a project from the OpenNet Initiative (ONI) a collaboration of the Citizen Lab at the University of Torontos Munk Centre for International Studies Harvards Berkman Center for Internet and Society and the SecDev Group offers six substantial chapters that analyze Internet control in both Western and Eastern Europe and a section of shorter regional reports and country profiles drawn from material gathered by the ONI around the world through a combination of technical interrogation and field research methods.
