8 Must See Resources to Beat the Censors and make AntiCensorship work

I was reading a chat thread on Google Groups and someone asked how they could get past the censors in their country.  Its a good question and in the spirit of open information, I’ve compiled several resources to help you get past censors and censorship.

  1. Top 10 anti-censorship methods
  2. Anti Censorship Publishing Tools
  3. Get Paid to Help Others get around Censorship (requires an install, pays $10 once, sounds a little risky but maybe not as risky as getting maced during a protest)
  4. Internet Censorship Wiki
  5. 30 day free trial for Anonymizer -Anonymous Web Surfing - costs $29.99 if you don’t get thrown into a Chinese jail before the 30 days is up.
  6. Understanding the MSN Spaces Censorship Process (so you can work around it)
  7. Handbook for Bloggers and Cyber Dissidents - Technical Ways to Get Around Censorship - from those fun loving Reporters without borders crowd ~I heard they got into a major brawl with some surly types from Doctors without borders in Katmandu (Alternate Page same thing)
  8. How does Google Censorship work? - Again the concept is to understand so that you can work around it.  There’s also the War on CyberInsecurity perspective too as the west prepares for a showdown with China over cybersecurity while India plays the outsourced referee
