Software to Skirt Web Censorship

November 22, 2006, 11:35 am

People in China, Cuba, Iran, and other countries where the government censors what they see on the Internet could soon have access to a lot more information. Citizen Lab, at the University of Toronto's Munk Centre for International Studies, has announced that it will release software on December 1 that allows people in those countries to see blocked Web sites. The software, called psiphon, allows someone in a country that doesn't censor the Internet to send someone in a Web-censored country a URL that enables the recipient to visit any Web site. –Andrea L.
