Canadian tech used in repressive countries for censorship

Summary: Canadian company Netsweeper is under fire for its technology that can help repressive countries around the world censor the Internet for millions of users. The technology was born as a tool to help schools and libraries protect vulnerable users - now it's being sold and implemented at the network level in countries with dubious human rights records.
