The organisation said fundamental rights such as free speech faced graver threats than ever before.
The campaign coincides with the start of a week-long UN-organised conference that will debate the future of the net.

I think Pakistani bloggers are having a hard time, I'm not sure, there's one blogger on my link list, Raheel, I must ask him.
The thought of no freedom to write always scares me.

Hi Kwesi,
I'm conducting an online survey to explore the privacy attitudes and expectations of bloggers.
Please click to take part in the survey: http://www.ccsr.ac.uk/privacysurvey/
If you participate you will be asked to answer questions anonymously about your blogging practices and your expectations of privacy when publishing online. All answers will be stored and analysed on a confidential basis.
The responses will be used to inform academic and policy discussions on blogging practices and attitudes towards privacy.
Finally, could you please encourage other bloggers to participate in the study.
It takes less than 5 minutes to complete the survey!
For further information on my research please visit
