The Socialist Republic of Vietnam regulates access to the Internet by its citizens extensively, through both technical and legal means. This study by the OpenNet Initiative (ONI) finds that the Vietnamese state attempts to block citizens from accessing political and religious material deemed to be subversive along various axes.
Cambridge, MA - The university-based OpenNet Initiative (ONI) today released “Internet Filtering in Vietnam: 2005-2006,” a report that documents the degree and extent to which the government of Vietnam controls the information environment in which its citizens live, including websites, blogs, email, and online discussion forums.
