While some sites can be reached by either HTTP or HTTPS, total encrypted traffic to the 2,046 sites has more than doubled to 31 percent in 2017 from 13 percent in 2015, the study finds.

The study confirms that 40 percent of these 2,046 websites can only be reached by an encrypted connection (denoted by the вЂњHTTPSвЂќ prefix on a web page, a voluntary upgrade from вЂњHTTPвЂќ). The majority of countries that censor content do so across all four themes, although the depth of the filtering varies. The study finds evidence of filtering in 26 countries across four broad content themes: political, social, topics related to conflict and security, and internet tools (a term that includes censorship circumvention tools as well as social media platforms).

вЂњThe Shifting Landscape of Global Internet CensorshipвЂќ, released today, documents the practice of internet censorship around the world through empirical testing in 45 countries of the availability of 2,046 of the worldвЂ™s most-trafficked and influential websites, plus additional country-specific websites. Thank you for your time and consideration.A sharp increase in web encryption and a worldwide shift away from standalone websites in favor of social media and online publishing platforms has altered the practice of state-level internet censorship and in some cases led to broader crackdowns, a new study by the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University finds. I am available for questions at any time at (email address). My resume and a writing sample are enclosed for your review.

I believe my peculiar background and skills would make a valuable contribution to the Berkman Center of Internet & Society. I hope to be attending this summer internship, and I am very passionate about other projects concerning your issues as well. Moreover, I trust that even at crucial times as the sudden passing of my mother at the age of 8, I was strong and willing enough to continue my enthusiastic attitude towards life so that I am a changemaker in my community to its better extent. Both academically and professionally, I thrive in situations that require of me intense analysis, problem-solving, and clear writing. As I was an exchange student in States, the fact that I was brought into an opposite culture enabled me to adjust to any environment, from one year of studying in a foreign language to living a life within a society with different cultural values from mine.

Since I got to be a finalist of an exchange program, I have two years of non-profit work experience, excellent mutual, communicative, Internet research and computer skills. I am engaged in a vlogging on YouTube, which has been recognized of me well combining qualitative and quantitative data to obtain a true sharp understanding of something. I have had a great experience at Google workshops and trainings on the development of Internet and apps, and how social media can be empowered to manage its impact on human lives. My diverse experiences within academia and also outside have exposed me to be ready for different challenges which have given me skills to fit the position of an intern at Berkman Center. I am currently majoring in journalism at (university name) on my second year of study. The importance and influence of technology always was something that I have followed closely and been captivated by in both an academic ability and on a personal level and the opportunity to continue this as a career excites me exceedingly. I am very interested in supporting this with the help of the internship. This internship caught my attention as I have been actively following Central AsiaвЂ™s current situation with its cyber activity and communications with Internet through new media tools. I am writing to apply for the Internet and Society Internship currently posted on Berkman CenterвЂ™s website.
