NGOs Joint Statement in support of H.R. 4780, the Global Online
Freedom Act of 2006
July 18, 2006
Chairman Christopher H. Smith Subcommittee on Africa, Global
Human Rights, and International Operation
We write in support of HR 4780, the Global Online Freedom Act of
2006, in its effort to prevent US companies from carrying out or
facilitating the suppression of online speech in China and other
countries.
In repressive societies such as China, the Internet has given
people unprecedented opportunities to communicate with each
other and to learn about the outside world in ways that their
governments forbid. But undemocratic governments are now
fighting back, by making Internet and technology companies
allies in their repression. China, for example, has pressured
Yahoo to turn over to its secret police the names of political
dissidents who send sensitive information over email. One such
dissident, Shi Tao, was recently sentenced to 10 years in prison
after being identified by Yahoo. China has also convinced
Microsoft to shut down Internet blogs in which Chinese users
were criticizing their government, and persuaded Google to
censor its search engine results. Chinese citizens using
Google’s Chinese search engine now cannot even learn of the
existence of information about human rights and democracy on the
Internet, including that found on U.S. government supported
websites such as the Voice of America.
Internet companies argue that people in closed societies such as
China are better off if U.S. companies are there to influence
the development of this medium. We agree - so long as U.S.
companies set a higher standard with respect to privacy and free
expression than do local providers in these societies. Thus far,
the leading U.S. companies are not doing so. And realistically,
they are unlikely to stand up alone to governments in countries
like China without clear rules of the road and strong engagement
from the U.S. government. H.R. 4780 would compel more
transparency about company practices when they operate in
repressive countries.
Crucially, the bill would make it more difficult for repressive
governments to obtain Internet user information from U.S.
companies when seeking to punish dissidents or other individuals
for exercising their right to free expression, as user data
would have to be stored outside countries such as China that use
such information to jail its citizens. In addition, the bill
prohibits U.S. companies from disclosing to officials of
repressive countries such as China personally identifying user
information except for legitimate law enforcement purposes.
Thank you for supporting this important legislation and working
for its speedy enactment.
