2013 INTERNET FREEDOM DAY

One Year Ago: Internet users around the globe started to fight back the Internet censorship law. 

Pro-freedom groups both large and small created ways to show their support for an open and 
uncensored web. Hundreds of thousands of people participated, and major websites like Google,

This year, we celebrate the victory and remind Internet users everywhere that the fight 
continues by declaring January 18th Internet Freedom Day.

in contemporary South Korean society''. [MORE]
