Member nations of the European Union are in secret talks, which include the United States, to implement a “Great Firewall Of Europe” which will block and censor online content to all nations in Europe. The proposal is very similar to the China firewall which blocks access to blogs, social networking sites and all foreign news websites that publish anything that contradicts official state sponsored propaganda.
We are tipped off with a post by Glyn Moody:
“The Presidency of the EU’s Law Enforcement Working Party wants to create [PDF] ‘a single secure European cyberspace with a certain “virtual Schengen border” and “virtual access points” whereby the Internet Service Providers (ISP) would block illicit contents on the basis of the EU “black-list.”‘ Leaving aside the fact that this won’t work for lots of reasons, how seriously can you take anyone talking about ‘cyberspace’ in 2011?”
Opening the referenced PDF we see the minutes of the EU Council meeting on March 3rd, 2011. Under Point 8 the announcement is made that EU delegations will discuss the creation of a “black-list” that will be provided to ISP’s to block illicit content during a conference in Budapest on April 12th and April 13th.
