Alex Goes To China

As a social media consultant and an Internet g33k, I am quite invested in the notions of freedom interwoven into the web. For this reason I am quite upset by China’s attempts to censor the World Wide Web (and equally upset by Australia’s recent attempts).

Something I take satisfaction in however is the counter measures being taken by white hat hackers the world over in creating easy to use tools for side stepping the censors. My personal favourite is the Global Internet Freedom Consortium (GIFC). With people like this in the world we will always have alternatives to fear, oppression and abuses of power.

And now on a lighter side, here is another conflation of Chinese and Australian politics.
