Other Websites
Here are some worthy sites, with all kinds of information about your rights online, privacy, security and the politics of these issues:
| Invisible Net http://www.invisiblenet.net |
A
site for privacy/anonymity resources, most notably... IIP - The Invisible IRC Proxy, which allows people to chat on IRC with complete anonymity - IP address of chatters are completely hidden from each other. IIP is still in its infancy, but very usable - bookmark this site, and watch out for big things to come. |
| Herbivore http://www.vision25.demon.co.uk/oss/herbivore/intro.html |
A play on
the name 'Carnivore', the FBI's 'Big Brother' mass internet
surveillance system. |
| Amnesty International http://www.amnesty.org |
A most venerable international society committed to fighting for the freedom of 'prisoners of conscience' - people who have suffered for expressing their opinions non-violently. |
| Electronic
Privacy Information Center (EPIC) http://www.epic.org |
One of the major 'privacy watchdogs' on the internet. This site provides a lot of information about threats to your privacy, and legal and technical means you can employ to neutralise these threats. |
| Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) http://www.eff.org |
EFF
is one of the most reputable champions of your online rights. Well-funded and well-resourced, EFF are constantly on the alert for governments, software companies and other organisations who would try to interfere with your rights. |
| The Freenet Project http://www.freenetproject.org |
Freenet is a technology which allows anyone to publish any kind of digital content. Freenet's claim to fame is that it allows you to publish and retrieve information anonymously. Once a website, or media files etc are published, Freenet's unique caching, routing and encryption make it almost impossible to trace it back to you. True freedom of expression. |
