Second annual report of the Paris based organisation of international journalists (Reporters sans Frontieres) on the attitudes towards the internet in 60 countries, between spring 2001 and spring 2003. According to RSF "The Internet is the bane of all dictatorial regimes, but even in democracies such as the United States, Britain and France, new anti-terrorism laws have tightened government control of it and undermined the principle of protecting journalistic sources."
