From the Register:
The group hopes that people hobbled by official Internet censorship will be able to exchange information and opinions which might otherwise be politically risky. Since countries can use filtering and firewalling to keep their citizens from Web sites with ‘objectionable’ content, the idea here is to hide it in plain sight in approved venues. A discussion of human rights could be carried out under the noses of administrators and moderators on an approved Chinese BBS, for example. The local Feds would have a very difficult time stopping it.
“If there were no state-sponsored censorship of the Internet, if Cisco et al weren’t crack hoes for hire, if there were no democracy activists screaming for help — hell, we could be off having fun instead of working long hours after our day jobs,” Hacktivismo member and occasional Reg contributor Oxblood Ruffin told us.
