[governance] Anti-Censorship software from EU for Activists

[Imran Ahmed Shah]

The European Union plans to distribute new software to help human rights
activists and dissidents in authoritarian regimes circumvent censorship.

"Enabling citizens of authoritarian countries to bypass surveillance and
censorship measures depends on two basic conditions: availability of
appropriate technologies (in particular software programs that can be
installed on one's desktop computer, laptop, smart-phone or other device)
and awareness, both of the techniques used by authoritarian regimes to spy
on citizens and censor their communications, and of the appropriate
counter-measures to use," explained the Commission.
