The Chinese Internet Censorship Index Visiting China? Get Involved Go
Tear down the great firewall of ChinaGo
We are currently looking for people who are visiting or living in China between now and the end of the year to participate in the China Internet Censorship Index (CICI) action.
The CICI is an online gadget to help Amnesty International collect data on levels of internet censorship at different times and throughout different regions of China. In particular, we are interested in whether internet censorship will increase after the Games.
If you are or will be in China this year, help us by registering to become a CICI tester and providing feedback about internet censorship from within China. It's simple and safe.
