Singapore's Internet Controls Shun Filters
An AP newswire article by Anick Jesdanun, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
Singapore maintains some of the world's tightest restrictions on free expression on the Internet, but unlike other regimes, it doesn't do it with technological filters. Instead Singapore controls the Web through an unusual mix of legal pressures and access restrictions, according to a new study from three universities.
Testing of 1,632 Web sites by the OpenNet Initiative found only eight blocked, mostly for pornography.
