In Seehausen (Sachsen) wurde der PiratenPartei ausdrücklich verboten, an ihrem Infostand auf die Themen ELENA, INDECT, SWIFT und ACTA aufmerksam zu machen. Bei Verstoß gegen diese Auflage wird mit dem Entzug der Genehmigung für den Infostand gedroht.
In der Türkei werden gerade alle Blogs bei blogger.com gesperrt, die Begründung sind irgendwelche Fußballrechte. Genau für so ein Dreck sind Websperren gut, sind sie erstmal erlaubt.
Chris Palmer stellt einige Projekte gegen Zensur im Internet vor:
Fortunately, there are a bunch of technical projects dedicated to reducing centralization in the internet infrastructure. Some are in the idea stage, some are up and running, and some are in-between. All of them could use help: development, documentation, security review, server infrastructure, testing, and evangelizing. EFF urges technologists of all stripes and skill levels to work on potential solutions to the centralization problem.
Interessant fand ich The Dot-P2P Project, an alternative DNS hierarchy that resists censorship.
Es gibt zwar noch keinen Code, aber Collage klingt interessant:
This project offers a possible next step in the censorship arms race: rather than relying on a single system or set of proxies to circumvent censorship firewalls, we explore whether the vast deployment of sites that host user-generated content can breach these firewalls. We have developed Collage, which allows users to exchange messages through hidden channels in sites that host user-generated content. Collage has two components: a message vector layer for embedding content in cover traffic; and a rendezvous mechanism to allow parties to publish and retrieve messages in the cover traffic. Collage uses user-generated content (e.g., photo-sharing sites) as “drop sites” for hidden messages. To send a message, a user embeds it into cover traffic and posts the content on some site, where receivers retrieve this content using a sequence of tasks. Collage makes it difficult for a censor to monitor or block these messages by exploiting the sheer number of sites where users can exchange messages and the variety of ways that a message can be hidden.
Wie abgefuckt die Content Mafia ist zeigt eindrucksvoll dieses Posting:
”Child pornography is great,” the speaker at the podium declared enthusiastically. ”It is great because politicians understand child pornography. By playing that card, we can get them to act, and start blocking sites. And once they have done that, we can get them to start blocking file sharing sites”.
