Good Morning!

The OpenNet Initiative and ONI Asia are pleased to announce the release of two reports on Internet filtering and surveillance in Asia.  ONI research reveals accelerating restrictions on Internet content as Asian governments shift to next generation controls. These new techniques go beyond blocking access to websites and are more informal and fluid, implemented at edges of the network, and are often backed up by increasingly restrictive and broadly interpreted laws.

We will be holding a virtual press conference at 10:00 MST (UTC +8) on Twitter (http://twitter.com/oniasia).  Questions may also be submitted via e-mail (contact@opennet.net).
