The Great Firewall of Norway?
A Computer Crime Panel study group established by the Norwegian Government has issued a proposal to the Justice Department for a new law that would force all ISPs (Internet Service Providers) in Norway to actively censor the Internet.
If this proposal were to become law, Norway would have stricter Internet censorship than China.
According to this article (Norwegian only, sorry) in the Norwegian daily Dagbladet, the minority of the Panel proposes to block, among other things, all:
- Foreign gambling sites (preserving the very lucrative Government owned monopoly on gambling)
- P2P sites offering illegal downloads such as MP3s, TV shows and movies
- Sites desecrating the Flag or Coat of Arms of a foreign nation
- Sites promoting hatred towards public authorities, racism and hate speech
- Sites offering pornography that may cause offence
