联合国的“绿坝”

2008年4月10日，AC成立不到一个月，独立媒体Inner City Press常驻联合国记者Matthew Russell Leeat发表新闻称联合国审查其纽约总部的互联网，屏蔽媒体批评网站Anti-CNN.com。只要在联合国内部或者图书馆想尝试浏览这些网站，员工就会收到从ICT安全单位的信息：你打开的页面已经根据相关政策被封锁页面将转移，相关了解在ST/SGB/2004/15。Anti-CNN论坛上一位在联合国总部工作的网友也证实了此事，访问Anti-CNN.com被重定向到下图所示的页面：

一份联合国秘书长声明提到，允许在一定范围内员工因私使用ICT资源，但是涉及到“色情”、“赌博”或“影响联合国组织声誉及安全”的网站是不允许的，明显Anti-CNN都不属于这三个范围。

2008年4月11日，联合国新闻发言人举行午间记者吹风会， 其间有记者提到关于Anti-CNN被屏蔽事件，发言人承认“对内部网站管理有统一的政策措施”但是未给出明确解释。不过一周后，Anti-CNN就被解除屏蔽。我们写的抗议信还没来得及发过去，此事便不了了之。

联合国官方网站对记者招待会有全程记录：

关于本事件问答如下：

Question: I also wanted to ask about the UN’s computer system. I learned that, among the people that work here who use the computer system, there are a variety of sites that are blocked and that they can’t visit -- a message comes up saying ‘this site has been blocked because’ of…some policy. Some of these sights are not pornography, not gambling, but are political sites, for example Anti-CNN, the Chinese site that criticizes CNN, and Daily Motion, another site that has… What’s the policy of the UN for censoring the Internet for its own employees? Who makes the decision about which sites are blocked?

Deputy Spokesperson: I think we have an answer for you on that, or an answer is in the works for you. The UN is no different than any other organization in that it does have a management policy for its website.

Question: Well, I’ve read the policy, and it talks about pornography and gambling, so I just…

Deputy Spokesperson: I think we have more details for you upstairs. We’ll get those to you.

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。
