UK Internet Providers Forcing Parents to Engage in 'Active' Censorship
Although Internet providers such as BT (News - Alert), Sky, Virgin and TalkTalk have offered parental blocking software for several years, “forcing the issue” would influence parents to “deal directly with the issue of objectionable content,” the report said.
The Internet providers reportedly said they're attempting to give parents a more “active choice in how to control the online content being viewed by their children,” the AP reported.
Family advocate Reg Bailey told the AP Tuesday that forcing the censorship issue would help persuade parents to engage in blocking access to certain websites. However, the AP said that civil liberties advocates are concerned that the move will influence parents to become accustomed to and accept online censorship.
Internet censorship continues to be a controversial subject in many foreign countries. Concerned that the popular revolt that erupted throughout the Middle East could spread to China, government authorities there are clamping down on online communications, TMCnet reported in March.Read more
Bolivia's Teachers Getting 'Presidential' Laptops
Bolivia's government is giving school teachers free laptops with a prominent detail that is generating criticism for President Evo Morales. A stenciled image of a smiling Morales is on the back of each computer.
Teachers union leader Jose Luis Alvarez in La Paz says that's just promoting idolatry. He says teachers will cover the image.
Education Ministry Roberto Aguilar said Monday that government officials originally planned to put on an image of Bolivia's nine-colored indigenous flag but manufacturer Lenovo recommended something simpler.
The government is handing out 130,000 laptops worth more than $50 million. They have processors from Intel Corp., operating systems by Linux and Microsoft Corp. and 320-gigabyte hard drives.Read more

Bangladesh unveils $130 'Doel' laptops
"This is a big step towards building a digital Bangladesh. When villages get laptops at a cheaper price they will be connected to the internet and that will bring lots of benefits," TSS managing director Mohammad Ismail told the BBC.
Initially, the laptop will be distributed to various government departments. But later on they will be made available to the public and to tens of millions of students.
However, the country's internet connectivity remains poor and critics have raised doubts whether the distribution of laptops alone will help the country to connect digitally.
The government has launched an ambitious plan, known as Digital Bangladesh, with the aim of digitally connecting the country by 2021.
"Every part of the country will be brought under e-governance, while the telecommunication system is being modernised to cut the digital divide," Sheikh Hasina said during the inauguration.Read more
