Dissidents Seeking Anonymous Web Solutions?

Posted by Cliff on from the browsing-without-regard-for-politics dept.

DocMurphy asks: "I'm working with some dissidents who are looking for ways to use the Internet from within repressive regimes. Many have in-home Internet access, but think it too risky to participate in pro-freedom activities on home PCs. Internet cafés are also available, but although fairly anonymous, every machine may be infected with keystroke loggers that give governments access to and knowledge of 'banned' sites. Dissidents not only want to remain anonymous themselves, but also wish to not compromise the sites they access. Any suggestions for products/procedures/systems out there making anonymous access & publishing a reality under repressive regime run Internet access?"

      I haven't been shot yet. =-O but seriously, if you want to have fun, go down to texas and tell people you're an atheist, they just about lose it. Most of them have never met an atheist, or anyone who's not a christian.
