Internet censorship in Syria
Internet censorship in Syria is extensive. Syria bans websites for political reasons and arrests people accessing them. Filtering and blocking was found to be pervasive in the political and Internet tools areas, and selective in the social and conflict/security areas by the OpenNet Initiative in August 2009.〔("ONI Country Profile: Syria" ), OpenNet Initiative, August 2009〕
Internet connectivity between Syria and the outside world shut down in late November 2011,〔 and again in early May 2013. Syria's Internet was cut off more than ten times in 2013, and again in March 2014.〔("Syria Hit by Widespread Internet Outage" ), Sharon Gaudin, ''Computer World'', 21 March 2014. Retrieved 22 March 2014.〕〔("Syria hit with a near nationwide Internet outage for seven plus hours" ), Andrea Peterson, ''Washington Post'', 20 March 2014. Retrieved 22 March 2014.〕 The Syrian government blamed terrorists for the cut off.
== Overview ==
Syria has been on Reporters Without Borders' ''Enemy of the Internet'' list since 2006 when the list was established.〔("Internet Enemies: Syria" ), Reporters Without Borders, March 2011〕 In 2009, the Committee to Protect Journalists named Syria number three in a list of the ten worst countries in which to be a blogger, given the arrests, harassment, and restrictions which online writers in Syria faced.〔("10 Worst Countries to be a Blogger" ), Committee to Protect Journalists, 30 April 2009〕 In May 2012 the Committee to Protect Journalists named Syria the third most censored country in the world, saying:〔("10 Most Censored Countries" ), Committee to Protect Journalists, 2 May 2012〕
In its campaign to silence media coverage, the government disabled mobile phones, landlines, electricity, and the Internet. Authorities have routinely extracted passwords of social media sites from journalists through beatings and torture. The pro-government online group the Syrian Electronic Army has frequently hacked websites to post pro-regime material, and the government has been implicated in malware attacks targeted at those reporting on the crisis.
In addition to filtering a wide range of Web content, the Syrian government monitors Internet use very closely and has detained citizens "for expressing their opinions or reporting information online." Vague and broadly worded laws invite government abuse and have prompted Internet users to engage in self-censorship to avoid the state's ambiguous grounds for arrest.〔
