Reporters Without Borders has issued its second annual report, The Internet under Surveillance - Obstacles to the free flow of information online. Excerpt: "The Internet is the bane of all dictatorial regimes, but even in democracies such as the United States, Britain and France, new anti-terrorism laws have tightened government control of it and undermined the principle of protecting journalistic sources. This report is about attitudes to the Internet by the powerful in 60 countries, between spring 2001 and spring 2003." [FOS News]
