There have been several filtering issues on the net recently, chinese google and smartfilter. I like this ideas, which looks pretty good to me. boingboing is a popular group blog that got caught in a filter. some guy came up with the idea of a distributed boingboing.
Hey, guys. I really hate SmartFilter, and I just knew there had to be something I could do. This idea came to me a few days ago. It’s called Distributed Boing Boing — it’s a very simple script that anyone can put on their server. When people visit that page, it automatically fetches Boing Boing and serves up through their server — sort of an automatic mirror. The code gets rewritten automagically to keep links working through the proxy server. It doesn’t require any configuration, and it’s totally safe — only files hosted on *.boingboing.net will get passed through. Help spread the word and help keep Boing Boing flowing.
PS: You guys rock. Seriously, I love this place.
