Has the end of the free internet for Danish come?
 June 4, 2009, 7:37 am (2 years ago)The Danish government’s reputed approaches to censor the Internet by requesting ISPs to reject particular sites that allegedly contain online gambling enterprises has encountered some firm disparagement this week in the Danish newspaper The Copenhagen Post.
According to the newspaper, Denmark is being relative to North Korea and China for its suggestion to prevent internet users from entering particular sites, which have been labeled as ‘hypocritical’ by a group of managerial arguing that a suggestion to stop Danish internet connections from using foreign gambling sites indicates ‘the beginning of the end of the free internet as Danes know it’.
In an opinion piece named ‘STOP! You are not allowed to use this website’, issued in Berlingske Tidende, directors from the Danish Energy Association, the Confederation of Danish Industries, the Bar and Law Society, Telecommunications Industry Association and FDIM, contrast Denmark with China and North Korea on the matter of preventing access to particular internet sites.
