Canadian tech company Netsweeper helped Bahrain censor websites, says report

Canadian technology company Netsweeper helped the Bahraini government block opposition party websites, various news websites and content critical of Islam, according to a new report by the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs..."Bahrain is one of the world's most autocratic countries," said Deibert [Ron Deibert, director of the Citizen Lab]. "There are major human rights violations in the country that will be further aggravated by implementing national-level internet censorship of this sort." Deibert said his report also raises questions about corporate responsibility: Is Netsweeper benefiting financially by helping a country trample human rights?" The fact that the company is located in Canada obviously puts them at odds with our country's position on human rights internationally."
