As a result – the core cyber freedoms have been cut down”. Secretary General of the organization Robert Menard declared that “the situation gives a special alarm as, besides the countries China, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia and Tunis traditionally ignoring human rights and freedom of speech which used the situation to strengthen reprisals, the western democratic states now also threaten freedom of citizens, having armed with an arsenal of new measures. The organization “Reporters without borders” is concerned by that in many countries access to personal information, for example, to e-mail, is too easyly given to polices and to intelligence services. This unprecedented abusing according to the opinion of “Reporters” means that “all the citizens are theoretically under suspicion”. “The United States, England, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Denmark, the European parliament, the Council of Europe and Great Eighth – all of them have challenged the cyber freedoms during 2001”, Menard stated. “Reporters” are attracting public’s attention to that the Chinese government has closed 14 thousand Internet-cafes for just several months, and nearby 30 people were arrested because of using the Internet.
There is also such a fact: in Tunis the founder of the site Tunezine.com who criticized the president of the country, has been imprisoned for more than two years.
It is necessary to note, that after September, 11th at least 13 governmental agencies have removed documents, maps and other information in order these materials not to be used by terrorists from the Network.
It is necessary to tell that the Internet actively tries to defend as well as the ACLU – (American Civil Liberties Union). Their slogan is “Cyberspace must be free!”
Thus, in the space called Internet, there are those to strangle freedom of speech and to struggle against. Considering the scope of struggle against terrorism in the USA, it is easy to foresee who will win in result.
