Chinese Internet Filters Not Effective







Chinese Internet Filters Not Effective

Chinese Internet Filters Not Effective 04/26/2004 04:07 PM

For the past few years there have been conflicting reports about the effectiveness of internet filters in China. Initially, the reports said that they weren't particularly effective - but reports last year seemed to indicate that they'd gotten much better. As you might imagine, though, these things do not stay constant, and this report from China suggests that last year's filters were a bit too effective, making it more difficult for many companies to benefit from the internet. Thus, it appears that Chinese authorities have backed down to less effective filters that are easily bypassed - and only ratchet up the filters during specific news events where they're more concerned about public opinion.

The NY Times is making fun of both the ACLU and the government for what appears to be contradictory positions on internet filters. They point to two big cases in the past two years, where each side appears to take an opposing viewpoint. In the recent ruling on porn blocking, the ACLU argued that filters were fine and we don't need a law to stop online porn. The government argued the opposite viewpoint, saying filters were not effective by themselves. However, last year, the ACLU argued that filters were a terrible way to stop porn in the case over whether or not libraries could be required to put internet filters in place in order to receive federal funds. However, when you look at the details, the positions aren't as contradictory as the NY Times would like you to believe. The ACLU believes that no one should be forced by the government into using filters. However, if someone (or some organization) decides to use them on their own, that's perfectly reasonable. The government's position is just as internally consistent as well -- looking for any way to stop children from accessing porn. The difference is that the two sides disagree on how effective the means are, and whether or not they block out certain other constitutional rights.

Spam-filters are trained to catch anything that looks like spam, including discussions of spam and spam-filters.
"Patterns of e-mail use are definitely being impacted both by spam and by antispam filters," said Craig Hughes, chief architect at McAfee Security and co-developer of the open-source SpamAssassin spam-filter project.

"I myself run into the problem all the time, mainly because what I'm corresponding about frequently involves discussions of spam or particular spam strategies..."

"I've lost count of the number of e-mails that get bounced back thanks to spam filters getting triggered by completely innocent words and phrases," said Suresh Ramasubramanian, head of security and antispam operations for managed mail-services firm Outblaze.

It's funny because he continues to insist that he's not a spammer, but talks about how, without him, all those anti-spam companies would be out of business -- so they need him the way doctors need tobacco companies to keep people smoking.

US Censoring Anti-Censoring System They
Set Up For China And Iran
05/03/2004 12:08 PM
While the US government has actively been funding a variety of projects to help web surfers in Iran and China (where web surfing is severely restricted) reach banned sites, a new study has found that the system the US offers, via Anonymizer.com, blocks plenty of sites itself. Even worse, the filtering is incredibly clumsy, utilizing the practice that most filters gave up on years ago of blocking entirely based on the use of certain keywords. Among the keywords "blocked" are things like "ass" (which blocks usembassy.state.gov), "hot" (blocks Hotmail.com and hotels.com), "sex" (can't get to sussex.police.uk), and "gay" (meaning no one can visit the Roman Catholic site of DioceseOfGaylord.org). Seems like a bit of a mixed message to say that they want to route around censorship - just not the kind of censorship preferred by our government.

Sean Penn, you’re a traitor to the United States of America. You gave aid and comfort to the enemy. How many American lives will your little, ”fact finding trip“ to Iraq cost? You encouraged Saddam to think that we didn’t have the stomach for war.

You people protect one of the most evil men on the face of this earth and won’t lift a finger to save the life of an unborn baby.
