Anonymizer Comes to Iran

| 3 Comments
Pejman explains why a pact between the U.S. government and the electronic privacy company Anonymizer, Inc. is making the Internet a safer place for controversial websites -- like if you're Iranian, and have your own opinion. Or worse, people who dare to own an opinion and are (gasp) female - like Winds of Change.NET team member Iraniangirl, for instance. Right now, anything that helps these people get around their government's censorship is good. I've contacted Anonymizer for details re: the Iranian edition and Farsi instructions. Looks like they're prepared to play shell games with the IP, too, in order to keep government blacklists ineffective. Good news on all counts. Here's the address to get started in English.

I found *Hacktivismo* by way of the newest issue of Foreign Policy. It sounds like more or less the same kind of idea, except it's technically illegal to download in Iran, Syria, Cuba, and Iraq (wink, wink) because of the encryption.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
