World Day Against Cyber Censorship

March 12th is World Day Against Cyber Censorship — a day to remember that in 2008, more online journalists were killed than journalists in any other media, and that the rights of bloggers and other attempts of free expression over the Internet are still being stifled around the world.

Reporters Without Borders and Amnesty International called upon Internet giants Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft to observe March 12th by not censoring their search engines or blog platforms on this day.
