by mbertier (via)
The document is the first evidence that the networking giant has marketed its routers to China specifically as a tool of repression. It reinforces the double-edged role that Americans' technological ingenuity plays in the rest of the world.

香港沒有成人?──flickr過濾與淫審

by Blog-you (via)
引文:目前,全世界只有四個地方被flickr過濾,分別為德國、星加坡、南韓和香港,過濾系統分三級,safe(安全)、moderate和safe off(沒保障)。這四個地區以外的用戶,不用登入就能看到所有類別的相片,而用戶亦可以於自己的賬戶選擇不同的搜尋級別。德國的用戶,因為聯合投訴flickr的過濾系統,成功爭取查看 safe和moderate級別的權限;但其他三地,則只能看 safe類別的相片,當你進入其他類別時,視窗會彈出「This photo is unavailable to you」(大家不妨試按「hyperlink」一文的照片連結,首先它會要求你登入,然後就會說你不能看這照片)。最大問題的是,這三個地區的用戶,是不能選擇觀看 moderate級別的相片。
