Internet censorship in Morocco was listed as selective in the social, conflict/security, and Internet tools areas and as no evidence in the political area by the OpenNet Initiative (ONI) in August 2009.〔("ONI Country Profile: Morocco" ), OpenNet Initiative, 6 August 2009〕 Freedom House listed Morocco's "Internet Freedom Status" as "Partly Free" in its 2013 ''Freedom on the Net'' report.〔("Morocco country report" ), ''Freedom on the Net 2013'', Freedom House. Retrieved 19 October 2013.〕 ==Current situation== In its ''Freedom on the Net 2013'', Freedom House reports that between May 2012 and April 2013:〔 * Filtering of numerous websites and online tools was lifted as the government introduced liberalizing measures to counter rising discontent heightened by the events of the Arab Spring; * Restrictive press and national security laws applied to online media sites lead to self-censorship. * Several online users were arrested for comments and videos posted to Facebook, YouTube, and blogs. In 2009 Internet access in Morocco was, for the most part, open and unrestricted. Morocco’s Internet filtration regime was relatively light and focused on a few blog sites, a few highly visible anonymizers, and for a brief period in May 2007, the video sharing Web site YouTube.〔("YouTube site 'blocked' in Morocco" ), BBC News, 29 May 2007〕 Testing by the OpenNet Initiative revealed that Morocco no longer filters a majority of sites in favor of independence of the Western Sahara, which were previously blocked. The filtration regime is not comprehensive, that is to say, similar content can be found on other Web sites that are not blocked. On the other hand, Morocco has started to prosecute Internet users and bloggers for their online activities and writings.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Internet censorship in Morocco」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
