联合国的“绿坝”
2008年4月10日,AC成立不到一个月,独立媒体Inner City Press常驻联合国记者Matthew Russell Leeat发表新闻称联合国审查其纽约总部的互联网,屏蔽媒体批评网站Anti-CNN.com。只要在联合国内部或者图书馆想尝试浏览这些网站,员工就会收到从ICT安全单位的信息:你打开的页面已经根据相关政策被封锁页面将转移,相关了解在ST/SGB/2004/15。Anti-CNN论坛上一位在联合国总部工作的网友也证实了此事,访问Anti-CNN.com被重定向到下图所示的页面:
一份联合国秘书长声明提到,允许在一定范围内员工因私使用ICT资源,但是涉及到“色情”、“赌博”或“影响联合国组织声誉及安全”的网站是不允许的,明显Anti-CNN都不属于这三个范围。
2008年4月11日,联合国新闻发言人举行午间记者吹风会, 其间有记者提到关于Anti-CNN被屏蔽事件,发言人承认“对内部网站管理有统一的政策措施”但是未给出明确解释。不过一周后,Anti-CNN就被解除屏蔽。我们写的抗议信还没来得及发过去,此事便不了了之。

关于本事件问答如下:
Question: I also wanted to ask about the UN’s computer system. I learned that, among the people that work here who use the computer system, there are a variety of sites that are blocked and that they can’t visit -- a message comes up saying ‘this site has been blocked because’ of…some policy. Some of these sights are not pornography, not gambling, but are political sites, for example Anti-CNN, the Chinese site that criticizes CNN, and Daily Motion, another site that has… What’s the policy of the UN for censoring the Internet for its own employees? Who makes the decision about which sites are blocked?
Deputy Spokesperson: I think we have an answer for you on that, or an answer is in the works for you. The UN is no different than any other organization in that it does have a management policy for its website.
Question: Well, I’ve read the policy, and it talks about pornography and gambling, so I just…
Deputy Spokesperson: I think we have more details for you upstairs. We’ll get those to you.
