[governance] psiphon software allows web access despite a censoring regime

[Nyangkwe Agien Aaron]

Thank you Sylvia forn enabling us to know of this new weapon to fight
censorship by unachievers. You will all agree with me that only thos
who have not achieve some thing in their stewardship will be against
the free flow of information.
It is with release that I learn of this new development by the Citizen Lab.
Once more, more grase to their elbows.
