Hi

A very interesting anti censorship project has recently been launched
through a partnership between Amnesty International UK and the
artist/research company SodaPlay. The project is called Irrepressible.
Basically it is a piece of software that does comparative readings of
website content, identifies the censored material that is supported by
Yahoo, Google and Microsoft in China, Vietnam, Tunisia, Iran, Saudi
Arabia and Syria etc. and then resends the identified censored content
into the blogosphere.    http://irrepressible.info/about

Soda's other work is great and worth looking at just for the pure
pleasure of it. http://www.sodaplay.com/
