World Day Against Cyber Censorship

March 12, Tuesday

World Day Against Cyber Censorship is celebrated on March 12 and aims to raise awareness of the importance of freedom of information on the Internet, as well as to counter online censorship and repression of Internet users.

Goals of the Day
To draw attention to threats to Internet freedom - such as blocking of sites, surveillance of users, content filtering, arrests of bloggers and journalists.

Support online freedom - to promote the principles of transparency and openness of the Internet.

To demonstrate how Internet censorship violates basic human rights, such as the right to freedom of expression and access to information.

The Impact of Cyber Censorship
In recent decades, the number of countries using Internet censorship has increased, limiting citizens' access to information. In some countries, governments actively block access to Internet resources, restrict or filter content, and monitor users online. Cybercensorship issues affect both journalists and ordinary users who face restrictions when searching for and distributing information on the Internet.
