[G.W. Schulz]

> "Today, 12 March, World Day Against Cyber-Censorship, we are publishing
> two lists. One is a list of five “State Enemies of the Internet,” five
> countries whose governments are involved in active, intrusive surveillance
> of news providers, resulting in grave violations of freedom of information
> and human rights. The five state enemies are Syria, China, Iran, Bahrain
> and Vietnam. The other is a list of five “Corporate Enemies of the
> Internet,” five private-sector companies that are “digital era
> mercenaries.” The five companies chosen are Gamma, Trovicor, Hacking Team,
> Amesys and Blue Coat, but the list is not exhaustive and will be expanded
> in the coming months. They all sell products that are liable to be used by
> governments to violate human rights and freedom of information."
