No Global ViHage hi MyBackyard: Socio-Political Realities
Although the Internet is global, leadersof a handful of countries shunit. Leaders of countries such asSaudi Arabia, China, Cuba, Iraqand NorthKorea censor, regulate, monitor, oroutright forbid Internet use bycitizens(CNN, 1998, 1999a, 2000).Customarily, leaders of these countriesdo nottolerate the free exchange of ideasand support that the Internetmakespossible through online support groupsand other Internet services.Suchgovernmental control makes participationin online support groups virtuallyimpossible for citizens of certaincountries.
In China, for example, chat rooms, newsgroups,and bulletin boardsneed government approval to operateand all web site information mustpass a securitycheck (CNN, 2000). Violators arepunished. Further, Chineseauthorities plan to establish an officialgovernment body to regulateandmonitor all Internet content. Thiswill most likely threaten anonymityinonline support groups.Other countries such as SaudiArabia plan tolegitimize the Internet but foreignpublications and outside informationwill
be strictly censored andcontrolled to block politically,socially, or culturally sensitive sites (CNN, 1998). Finally in Iraq ownership ofa computer modem(necessary to access online support groups and e-mail) is illegal (CNN,1999a). Thus, citizens of some isolated countries cannot participateinonline support groups, even if they own a computer and in spite oftheiremotional distress or need for emotional support. The expatriate communityresiding in countries such as these can usually circumvent localgovernmental censorship and monitoring.

Thiswill kemungkinan besar mengancam anonymityinonline negara dukungan groups.Other seperti SaudiArabia rencana tolegitimize internet tapi foreignpublications dan luar informationwill
secara ketat disensor andcontrolled untuk memblokir politik, sosial, atau budaya situs sensitif (CNN, 1998). Akhirnya di Irak modem komputer ofa kepemilikan (diperlukan untuk mengakses kelompok dukungan online dan e-mail) adalah ilegal (CNN, 1999a). Dengan demikian, warga beberapa negara terisolasi tidak dapat participateinonline kelompok pendukung, bahkan jika mereka memiliki komputer dan terlepas oftheiremotional distress atau kebutuhan untuk dukungan emosional. The ekspatriat communityresiding di negara-negara seperti ini biasanya dapat menghindari penyensoran localgovernmental dan pemantauan.
