Censorship Changes Face Of Net

Amnesty International has warned that the internet "could change beyond all recognition" unless action is taken against the erosion of online freedoms.
The warning comes ahead of a conference organised by Amnesty, where victims of repression will outline their plights.
The "virus of internet repression" has spread from a handful of countries to dozens of governments, said the group.
Amnesty accused companies such as Google, Microsoft and Yahoo of being complicit in the problem.
Website closures
When challenged on their presence in countries such as China in the past, the companies accused have always maintained that they were simply abiding by local laws.
Amnesty is concerned that censorship is on the increase.
