I would like to share details of the following Freedom House event that I am
helping organize in the San Francisco Bay Area in about a week's time.

As the recent uprisings across the Middle East have shown, information
technology facilitates political change, but for that very reason,
authoritarian regimes are intensifying their controls over the internet.
 Freedom House is now issuing its report in levels of freedom on the
internet around the world, which rates internet access, censorship, and user
rights in 37 countries and assesses key trends in freedom of digital media.
 The presentation of report findings will be followed by a panel discussion
with internet freedom experts.  Brought to you by the Yahoo! Series on
Business and Human Rights.
