Independent watchdog organizationFreedom Housereleased its fourth annual Freedom on the Net report last week; in its ranking of 60 countries examined in terms of internet freedom, Hungary placed eighth to earn the country the free label, despite slipping some four points to a score of 23, where 0 is the ideal score. Iceland and Estonia were ranked in the top two places.

In announcing the release of Freedom on the Net 2013, Freedom House noted a worldwide decline in internet freedom, thanks to various incidents of broad surveillance, new laws controlling web content, and growing arrests of social-media users.

Hungarys own drop in score and increase in what Freedom House deemed Violations of User Rights was in line with the majority of the 60 nations studied as a whole: Some 35 nations assessed in the survey had broadened their technical or legal surveillance powers over the past year, and all but one received a worse score from Freedom House.

While blocking and filtering remain the preferred methods of censorship in many countries, governments are increasingly looking at who is saying what online, and finding ways to punish them, said Freedom on the Net project director Sanja Kelly. In some countries, a user can get arrested for simply posting on Facebook or for liking a friends comment that is critical of the authorities.

And in Hungary? A few excerpts from the report are as follows.

For key points in understanding Hungarian internet freedom, Freedom House noted Revisions to the criminal code, passed on June 25, 2012[,] could allow the government to block websites if host providers fail to respond to takedown notices; the Supreme Court fined two blog owners for defamation based on readers' comments, even though the comments were deleted and The fourth modification of the constitution annulled previous decisions of the Constitutional Court, causing uncertainty as to how previous legal protections, particularly regarding free speech, will be interpreted.

The National Core Curriculum for 2013 drastically decreased the number of IT classes in primary and high schools, possibly maintaining and further increasing the digital divide between social groups, as children coming from poor families may not have access to computers and other digital devices in their homes.

In June 2012, the Supreme Court fined two blog owners who were found guilty of defamation for comments that were posted by users on their websites, even though the comments were subsequently deleted. Additionally, cyberattacks against government websites continued to take place, and there was one case of physical assault against an online journalist covering a rally in October 2012.

The Fundamental Law of Hungary acknowledges the right to freedom of expression and defends freedom and diversity of the press, though there are no laws that specifically protect online modes of expression.

A series of interviews conducted with journalists in 2012 provide a picture of the extent of self-censorship in Hungary, which is due to political and economic pressure on both traditional and online media outlets. According to most of the interviewees, the media laws had not made any difference when it came to self-censorship; instead, as one respondent noted, the two-thirds majority push of executive power, the unprecedented leverage of that power, and the rise of the Fidesz party have had a greater effect on self-censorship. Another journalist added that party finance is entangled with media financing. Political and economic influence is exerted through public and private advertising. A respondent explained that there was always some other interest at play, political or from the side of business and advertisingor both simultaneously, because these two often go hand in hand.

PH VS CHINA. The Philippines claims that Panatag, a disputed area in the South China Sea, lies within its exclusive economic zone. China says it's theirs.

MANILA, Philippines The Philippines upheld freedom to navigate the South China Sea after China on Monday, October 7, blasted the United States, Japan, and Australia for interfering in maritime disputes.

There's such a thing as freedom of navigation. A big percentage of world trade passes through our waters waters that are a subject of dispute right now, Philippine Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda said in a press briefing.

Referring to the US, Japan, and Australia, Lacierda said: Do they have an interest? Yes, they have an interest because of freedom of navigation.

Lacierda issued this statement after China on Monday criticized the 3 countries.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said: The alliance between the US, Japan, and Australia should not be used as an excuse to interfere in disputes over territorial sovereignty; otherwise, it will only complicate the situation and hurt the interests of relevant parties. We urge these countries to respect facts, tell right from wrong, be discreet, and refrain from any word or deed that is not conducive to the proper handling of relevant issues and to regional stability."

She added China upholds a long-standing and clear-cut position on South China Sea disputes.

This position includes rejecting third parties in settling maritime conflicts, such as the United Nations (UN) tribunal before which Manila filed an unprecedented case against Beijing.

Freedom in Decline: Internet Access Is Increasingly Monitored, Limited

By Tim Gideon

In an attempt to bring a touch of luxury and high performance to the realm of exercise headphones, Monster recently released the wireless Bluetooth iSport Freedom. At $279.95 (list), there's nothing subtle about these on-ear headphonesthe price is as eye-catching as the design. Exercise buffs will enjoy the iSport Freedom, which is built to withstand a tough workout. Audiophiles should steer clear, howeverthis is one of the more wildly sculpted, bass-boosted sound signatures we've heard in this price range, and the results are not always positive. The price seems high for exercise headphones, and especially a pair that provides such a lopsided audio experience.

DesignVisually, the iSport Freedom is very striking. Dark gray accents are offset by neon yellow-green, rubberized sweatproof material. The earpads are made of this same material, and are not uncomfortable but lack the plush, cushioned feeling many on-ear headphones go for. They opt instead for a secure, sweat-proof fit that should serve you well during intense workouts.

Controls for playback, answering calls, adjusting volume and skipping tracks are located on the outside panel of the right earcup. The Power button is also located here. Hold the Power button down to pair the headphones with your mobile device. The pairing process with an iPhone 4s was quick and painless.

On the left earcup, there are two covered ports: a micro-USB charging connection and a 3.5mm connection for the included optional audio cable. This cable is a nice touch, as it allows you to use the iSport Freedom as a traditional pair of headphones when you have no battery power. It also includes a single-button remote for easy control of playback and track navigation, as well as answering calls through the headphones' built-in microphone. When it's connected, Bluetooth streaming capabilities are disabled, so you won't waste battery power when listening via the cable in passive mode.

The headphones fold down easily, collapsing at hinges just above each ear. You get a drawstring carrying pouch, a USB charging cable, and the aforementioned audio cable.

PerformanceOn tracks with intense sub-bass content, like the Knife's "Silent Shout," the iSport Freedom delivers serious bass response. At top volumes, it does not distort, and the deep lows are delivered with subwoofer-like intensity. It sometimes sounds as if the boosted bass lacks contour and definition, though. There's such a tremendous presence in the very low frequencies, it seems that some of the low-mids and mids that help define these sounds are a bit lost in the mix.

This isn't to say the iSport Freedom is muddyif anything, it can sound a bit too bright. Basically, the very deepest and very highest frequencies seem overly sculpted. On Bill Callahan's "Drover," we hear this plainly. Too often, his baritone vocals can sound muddy on this track if there has been a lot of bass boosting applied. But in the case of the iSport freedom, the bass boost, though tremendous, does little to his voicethat's because it's not boosting much in the low-mids. The drums, on the other hand, get a huge dose of deep bass, and sound overly bass-heavy and thumpy on this track. Callahan's voice is never lost, however, because the high-mids and highs are so seriously tweaked. In fact, his voice and guitar strumming sound too bright and occasionally tinny.

On Jay-Z and Kanye West's "No Church in the Wild," the iSport freedom sounds a bit better. The attack on the kick drum loop here gets a bunch of added high-mid edge, and it cuts through the mix with intensity, while the sub-bass synth hits that punctuate the beat are delivered with booming low-end. The extremes of the crisp highs and deep lows make for quite a dynamic mix, but for the sound signature is extremely unnatural.

Classical tracks also sound a bit too bright, though they do get a bit of extra low-end richness. On John Adams "The Chairman Dances," the higher register strings own the spotlight and sometimes sound too strong in the high-mids and highs, but the lower register strings do balance things out a bit, and the large drum hits that end this piece receive a nice bit of low-end roundness.
