Beyond breaking firewalls: how to fight net-censorship

from Boing Boing by Cory Doctorow

Ethan Zuckerman’s new piece on Worldchanging, “Internet Freedom: Beyond Circumvention,” looks at the technical and social limitations of circumvention of censoring firewalls that we love so much as a tool for helping people in repressive regimes liberate themselves.

Campaign for Daniel Raduta (#draduta)

I was informed of a donation campaign that takes place in Romania by the organizers of World Blogging Forum. Here is their statement:

It is the cause of a young Romanian, called Daniel Raduta ( http://danielraduta.ro/?page_id=2) who was diagnosticated with leuchemia and needs a bone marrow transplant.

The online campaign has helped him raise 70000 eu so far, but he needs around 150000 eu.

It?s the case that brought a new era to charity in Eastern Europe. It?s proof that people can save a life with or without the help of officials. When they turn their backs on us, we grow stronger and more ambitious. And we win.
