Committee to Protect Bloggers and FreeKareem are doing an analogue letter-writing campaign for Kareem, the imprisoned Egyptian blogger. Read about Flood the Jail with Mail.

I was featured on The World Tech Podcast. It’s the podcast for Public Radio International’s program The World, which I’ve been on before. It’s an occasional conversation about global free speech and bloggers. I’ll be speaking to Clark again this coming week. We’ve got a very exciting campaign coming up over at Committee to Protect [...]

The cheerleading surrounding the transformative power of the new communications technologies, or “Web 2.0,” is masking an unacknowledged reality: The majority of men and women using them wish for free speech to extend only as far as themselves and no further. Blogging, podcasting, file sharing: all of it, they believe, should be in service to [...]

The Committee to Protect Bloggers is back. I’m focusing on making it more strictly a clearinghouse for information on threatened bloggers and threats to bloggers. Subscribe to the feed and I’ll try to keep you up-to-date on horrible happenings around the world.

Thanks to the Teen Titans at Free Kareem, the Committee to Protect Bloggers has a host. Esra’a and her ilk are the ultimate in “disruptive” free speech organizations and we’re lucky to be in such good company. When the site’s up and the domain’s defined, I’ll post it here.

Because I is a idiot, I was considering reawakening the beast that is, or rather was, the Committee to Protect Bloggers. To do this, I need a free blog host. OK, they’re common enough. But since my techno-eyes are always bigger than my techno-stomach, I need a host that would also be available for constant [...]

Dr. Mike, who ran a kind of blog farm under WordPress, has suddenly realized what a pain in the ass that was and folded shop. So, the Committee to Protect Bloggers Archive is no more. (Formerly at this URL: http://ctblog.daria.be/.)
There have been so many new arrests, I’m not sure how valuable it was anyway. Thanks [...]

Two awful stories prove that things are still bad for bloggers in oppressive countries. First, Yahoo. (And really, how could it not start with Yahoo?)
Speaking with VOA’s Mandarin Service Wednesday after arriving in Washington, Yu Ling said Chinese police arrested her husband, Wang Xiaoning, partly because Yahoo’s Hong Kong office gave Chinese authorities information about [...]

Update: The site is down for good.
***
We have a new location for the Committee to Protect Bloggers’ archive.
Thanks to Civiblog for their previous hosting. Even as an archive (there is just as much abuse of bloggers going on around the world as there ever was, if not more) we go over Blogware’s limits so often [...]

I’m readying myself to go out to Washington D.C. and speak to C.I.A. and State Department intelligence types at the Meridian House about blogging and democracy. My point of view? It’s a good idea. I should slap something together so as to not be completely unprepared. I’m thinking along the lines of a bunch of [...]
