Circumventing censorship coup fax

The Egyptian regime fails to shut completely to the Internet. On Thursday, the government of Hosni Mubarak ordered all vendors operating in the Arab country that cut off their international connections to the network immediately, Anonymous launched a campaign that was faxed (especially to schools) cables Wikileaks that revealed violations of human rights under President Mubarak.

Now, the activist group Telecomix Anonymous seems to have joined to launch another mass mailing of faxes to Egypt, in which broadcast an alternative way to access the Internet, according to blogger Andy Greenberg Forbes. They are collecting international telephone numbers through which you can connect to a modem.

The phone list is compiled in this document. The provider of Internet access services to French Data Network, meanwhile, is also broadcasting an emergency phone number to connect to Egypt through a connection made in France, reports Le Figaro. Egyptian Internet users should have a basic modem and dial France +33 1 72 89 01 50 instead of the number of local telephone operator.

Then they have to "enter the ID and password toto," says the French daily. Another citizens' initiative is to encourage international Internet using Tor, a system that encrypts and protects information and anonymous private browsing. Access Now movement calls on its website for users to download the program, donating bandwidth and becoming part of your network.

Thus, when the connection is restored in Egypt, Tor users in the country "will have access to sites like Facebook and Twitter Ggobierno circumventing censorship," says the portal.
