Mentioned on KO tonight. psiphon is a human rights software project developed by the Citizen Lab at the Munk Centre for International Studies that allows citizens in uncensored countries to provide unfettered access to the Net through their home computers to friends and family members who live behind firewalls of states that censor.

1. What about the US military's firewalls?

I'm not asking anything other people won't already be wondering, given known political censorship in the military.

2. Damned good point.

3. It is made for people who live in censored countries

to access content through friends, family or other computers in uncensored countries. So beating a "firewall" is a misstatement.
Gaining access to content in censored areas is more exact.

4. The military censors the internet for the troops?

I never heard about this. I guess I shouldn't be surprised though. Do you got any link for information on it?

5. Sorry, I just noted intermittent reports on sites like Daily Kos.

...Which is one site being censored, apparently.
