Everyone's Guide to By-Passing Internet Censorship

Following the recently released "Journey to the Heart of Internet Censorship" report, University of Toronto's Citizen Lab took advantage of the momentum and released a guide entitled "Everyone's Guide to By-Passing Internet Censorship" :

"This guide is meant to introduce non-technical users to Internet censorship circumvention technologies, and help them choose which of them best suits their circumstances and needs."

Here's another interesting perspective that took event recently, the art of using censorship for economic warfare by stealing Internet traffic from the U.S and forwarding the loyal visitors to local Internet properties in China :

"I’ve written previously on the possibility that China may use its firewall as an economic tool as opposed to a censorship tool alone, and although censorship may be partially behind todays blanket ban of US search sites, the redirect to Baidu would indicate an economic motive; if the Chinese Government were serious about censorship alone we would have reports of page not found/ blocked messages, not redirects to Baidu."

It's all a matter of perspective - privacy is just as vital to maintain in a democratic society, as is anonymity in a modern communism societies where f*** speech is a censored word by itself.
