OpenNet on Geolocation Effectiveness

OpenNet: "...over one million United States citizens live in Mexico, over one million live in Europe and over four million live around the world. Under typical circumstances, none of these citizens are able to access to George W Bush's website during the run-up to the presidential election...Although generally used by specific, individual websites to restrict access or to deliver targeted content to users based on geographic location, geolocation technology allows for content to be modified subtly or restricted within specific target areas. When used in conjunction with self-censorship strategies, geolocation filtering adds an additional level of fine grain control over Internet filtering, and raises questions about the gradual stifling of the global commons of information that the world-wide web initially promised."
