Censorship Short film - Video

London, July 3 (ANI): Iran's newly elected President, Hassan Rouhani, has expressed relatively progressive views about civil liberties, freedom of expression and the Internet in his first press conference.

According to Rouhani, social networking sites, such as Facebook, were a welcome phenomenon. He added that he opposed segregation of sexes in society and he would work to minimize censorship. He also mentioned Internet filtering is futile.

He further said that Iranians' freedoms and rights have been neglected.

Rouhani has promised to put the Islamic republic back on the path of moderation after eight acrimonious years under the outgoing president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

He accepted that the country is overshadowed by a specific interpretation of its Islamic character. He also said that due to an imbalance in the principles of the constitution, Iran is facing an imbalance.

When asked about internet filtering, Rouhani said some of the measures taken by the authorities to restrict users' access online are politically motivated. He said that he is concerned about an increased distrust between people and the state.

The Guardian reported that access to several websites is blocked in Iran, including Facebook and Twitter, but millions of Iranians use them via anti-filtering software or virtual private network (VPN) services.

Rouhani also reportedly pledged to minimize censorship of artistic and cultural works and said the state should provide them with security.

On the question of women wearing the hijab, with millions unhappy about the mandatory religious code in the country, Rouhani said he is against the crackdown against women with loose clothing. Rouhani added that he is against these actions mentioning 'a women without a hijab is not necessarily without virtue'.

In his interview with the Guardian, Rouhani said he opposed segregation of men and women and criticised the politicians who are against allowing women to enter stadiums to watch football matches along with men.

Iran's President vows to soften rules on web censorship, sex discrimination and Islamic dress code

Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) July 03, 2013

idcloak says the IP addresses in its newly released Fresh Proxies list will successfully bypass the Great Wall of China and give Chinese netizens unfettered access to the net.

According to idcloaks lead researcher, Robin Welles, IP proxies are effective because they connect the browser directly to the remote server, doing away with the complications of a mediating website. One complication of site-based proxies is that they usually contain the word proxy or unblock in their web page or URL and that betrays their function to filters. The result: censors see them and shut them out.

Its not easy to get around the Great Firewall; says Welles, as it employs several filter mechanisms simultaneously to prevent circumvention. The Golden Shield also has 30,000 staff manually holding it up, so you have the human element to contend with as well. All this means only the newest proxies have a chance of breaking out of Chinas censorship.

A proxy works by allowing a user to connect to a foreign-based server and only then requesting banned web content, from a YouTube or Facebook IP address, for example. Assuming the user has chosen an HTTPS (encrypted) proxy, the requested data is then returned to their device discretely and under the censorship radar.

The location of the proxy server is also extremely important, Welles explains, Of course, censorship circumvention only works if the user connects to a proxy based outside the censorship zone. But they shouldnt send their requests too far. Connecting to a server on the other side of the world makes browsing slow to unacceptable levels. The idcloak list offer a wide variety of IP geolocation options to help users find this balance.

idcloak maintains the list continuously to make sure all displayed proxies are operational. The database is live, which means it is continuously subject to checks, with new proxies being added and old ones taken away daily. This ensures the presented list is always a current snapshot of all major working proxies in the world.
