Internet Censorship: Studies from China and Turkey

Abstract:
Nation-state online censorship takes many forms, including
network-layer firewalls as well as application-layer censorship. This
talk discusses measurements of Weibo, a popular social network in
China, and Twitter, popular in much of the rest of the world. We show
how fast and how effective Weibo can be at removing controversial
topics once they've been deemed controversial. We similarly show
how effectively Twitter responds to censorship requests from foreign
governments, measuring two orders of magnitude more "withheld content"
than disclosed in Twitter's "transparency reports".
