UN Censors Internet In Its NY Headquarters, Blocking Media Critique and Non-Google Video Sites
联合国审查其纽约总部的互联网,屏蔽媒体批评网站及非Google视频网站
Byline: Matthew Russell Lee of Inner City Press at the UN: News Analysis
UNITED NATIONS, April 10 -- The UN's computer system censors a number of websites, among them the Chinese Anti-CNN.comsite devoted to searching for what it calls media bias. Also censoredis the site dailymotion.com, which after LiveLeaks.com took it down wasa remaining site hosting the controversial film "Fitna," which the UN'sBan Ki-moon denounced. In each case, attempts from inside the UN, bystaff or in the library, to read either site results in a message from the "ICT Security Unit"that "you have been redirected to this page because the site you areattempting to access is blocked according to the policy as detailed inST/SGB/2004/15."
联合国,4月10日——联合国的计算机系统禁止了许多网站,其中包括中国致力于搜集他们所谓的(西方)媒体(对中国)偏见的反CNN网站。dailymotion网也遭到禁止,继liveleaks网取下电影“Fitna”之后,它仍然在网上提供这部联合国的潘基文谴责的争议影片。不论是通过工作人员的电脑,或通过图书馆,企图从联合国内部浏览这两个网址的,结果都只会是收到一则“信息和通信技术安全单位”发来的消息--“您已被重定向到这个网页,因为根据政策,您正试图访问的网站已被锁定,详情咨询st/sgb/2004/15”
This Secretary-General's Bulletinallows staff "limited personal use of ICT resources" unless theseinvolve "pornography or engaging in gambling" or would "compromise theinterests or the reputation of the Organization."
这则秘书长的公告,让工作人员“有限地私人使用信息和通信技术资源” ,除非这些资源涉及“色情或从事赌博活动”或“危及联合国的利益或声誉” 。
But whether or not the UN Organization agrees with the media critiqueoffered, for example, by anti-cnn.com, it is neither pornography orgambling, and keeping up with critiques of mainstream media couldhardly "compromise the interests or the reputation of theOrganization."
但是不管联合国组织是否同意像反CNN这样的网站提出的对媒体的指责批评,它(反CNN)都不涉及色情或赌博,而它对主流媒体的批判也很难说是有损联合国组织利益和声誉的。
The same is true of the video site DailyMotion.com, and it is worthnoting that the UN does not block or censor another video site,YouTube.com.
The latter, of course, is owned by the UN's partner Google, which itself assists with Internet censorship in China.
视频网站DailyMotion.com也是如此,值得注意的是联合国并没有屏蔽别的视频网站,例如YouTube.com
当然了,后者隶属与联合国的合作伙伴GOOGLE——GOOGLE也协助了中国的网络审查。
Mr. Ban, UNDP's Dervis, Google at left and Cisco, anti-cnn.com not shown (censored at UN)

[Full disclosure: Inner City Press was temporarily excluded by Google News earlier this year, which was linked
to UN system and affiliates' complaint(s). At the time, the UNsputtered that it does not engage in censorship. But why then arenon-pornographic political analysis web sites blocked inside the UN'sown headquarters?]
[全面披露:在今年早些时候,Google新闻里暂时找不到内城新闻,它连向联合国系统及附属机构的投诉。
在当时,联合国急忙解释,它不从事检查。 那它为什么要封锁自己总部里的非色情的政治分析网呢?]
With the UN censoring the Internet inside its own headquarters in NewYork, its commitment to freedom of the press, particularly of onlinemedia, remains suspect. Watch this space.
随着联合国审查其总部设在纽约的互联网,它对新闻界的自由,特别是网络媒体的自由的承诺,仍然值得怀疑。 观察这个空间。
