Hackerbrarian writes “This One Says The free exchange of information over the Internet has proven to be a threat to the social and political control that repressive governments covet. But rather than ban the Internet (and lose valuable business opportunities), most repressive governments seek to limit their citizens’ access to it instead.
To do so, they use specialized computer hardware and software to create firewalls. These firewalls prevent citizens from accessing Web pages – or transmitting emails or files – that contain information of which their government disapproves.
Fortunately, however, this kind of wholesale Internet censorship now faces a serious challenge. Hacker groups such as Hacktivismo are determined to poke holes in firewalls used for repression.
