Future of Censorship
The authority for censorship in Taiwan since 2006 is the National Communications Commission (NCC). On June 26, 2006, news reports said the Council of Grand Justices of the ROC had their constitutional review result that part of the National Communications Commission Organization Act (e.g. Article 4) is unconstitutional, and there will be two years after which this law is invalid.
In 2010, government restrictions on access to information are increasingly sophisticated and rely heavily on electronic filters. For example, attempts to access websites such as MSN (USA version) or Google (particularly google.ca) in public libraries have resulted in "Access denied" messages. However, access to Yahoo, in which PRC entities are heavily invested, are not similarly restricted.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or censorship:
“Everything I do is done within sight of the Führer, so that my faults or mistakes are never hidden from him. I do my very utmost to live and act in such a manner that the Führer should remain satisfied with me; I am hard-working; but whether I shall always be able to cope with the tasks entrusted to me in the future as well, is an open question.”
—Martin Bormann (1900–1945)
“The censorship method ... is that of handing the job over to some frail and erring mortal man, and making him omnipotent on the assumption that his official status will make him infallible and omniscient.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
