RSF launches anti-censorship campaign

Reporters Without Borders has just kicked off a 24-hour web protest against censorship and 'internet black holes' supported by a Saatchi & Saatchi online ad campaign.

RSF's campaign is based around a large map of the world that show off these black spots and asks visitors to click to show their support.

Should you wish to join in, you can use the site to launch your own RSF-hosted blog (full uncensored, of course), download the Saatchi ad of your choice and even email the heads of Yahoo, Google, Microsoft and anyone else with controversial business policy in places like China - which does love its web censorship. RSF is also launching an Arabic-language version of the site today.

(Disclaimer - I was involved with the NUJ campaign that wrote to Yahoo asking, very nicely, that it reconsider its practice in China.)
