China
China maintains one of the most pervasive and sophisticated regimes of
Internet fi ltering and information
control in the world. The community
of Chinese Internet users continues to
grow, while the state simultaneously
increases its capacity to restrict
content that might threaten social
stability or state control through tight
regulations on domestic media, delegated liability for online content providers, just-in-time fi ltering, and “ cleanup ” campaigns.
