Abstract

Cenzura je praksa koja se pojavila s početkom pisma, a njezina popularnost je prisutna
još i danas u 21. stoljeću. S obzirom na to da je internet postao predominantni medij, posebice
među mlađim generacijama, većina ljudi se oslanja na internet tražilice, blogove, forume i
portale kada se žele informirati o nekoj temi. Takav dinamičan i nereguliran izvor informacija
predstavlja opasnost državama koje se aktivno trude oblikovati svijest svojih građana.
Najistaknutije među njima su... More Kina, Saudijska Arabija, Sirija, Iran, Egipat, Kuba i mnoge druge,
a cilj ovog rada je približiti čitateljima različite motive i načine kojima se spomenute države
koriste kako bi filtrirali protok informacija na njihovim lokalnim mrežama. Tako iza svake
cenzure stoje različiti razlozi cenzuriranja - politički, religijski, društveni ili ratni. Kako raste
svijest građana o nemogućnosti pristupa određenim informacijama, proporcionalno raste i želja
za zaobilaskom same cenzure, a tu dolaze u pomoć svakojaki alati i softveri razvijeni posebno
u te svrhe. Naposljetku ostaje teško pitanje u kojoj mjeri je cenzura opravdana u državama bez
demokratskog legitimiteta. Less

Abstract (english)

Censorship is a practice with a long-standing tradition, having appeared alongside the
invention of writing, and its popularity is still intact in the 21st century. Considering the fact
that the Internet has become the predominant medium, especially among younger generations,
most people rely on search engines, blogs, forums and online news websites when looking for
information. Such a dynamic and unregulated source of information poses a threat to countries
that actively try to... More shape their citizens' beliefs. The countries that undoubtedly stand out in their
censorship practices are China, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran, Egypt, Cuba and
many others, making the aim of this paper to shed light on the different motives and techniques
these countries use to filter the flow of information on their local networks. Thus, there are
different reasons behind every act of censorship - some are political, some religious, social or
even war-induced. As a consequence, the more people's awareness of censorship grows, the
more they want to bypass it with the help of various online tools and software, designed
specifically for those purposes. Eventually, the question that inevitably lingers is to what extent
is censorship justifiable in countries without democratic legitimacy. Less
