Canadian Web Co. Helps Yemen Censor Net

Abstract

A Canadian Internet filtering company is blocking Internet content in Yemen as part of an information blackout by rebel Houthis who have taken control of the country’s main Internet service provider, according to a new report from Citizen Lab, a research group at the University of Toronto. The company has also provided filtering services to Pakistan and Somalia, two countries that have also been accused of violating people’s rights of access to information, the researchers found.
