Help Wanted to Expand Free Speech Globally

A group that wants to assist free speech in authoritarian nations is looking for a technically savvy person -- a CTO or lead engineer type -- who can do a short term study, possibly leading to a longer-term job. This is a paying gig for the right person.

The project is intended, in its intitial form, to make possible blogging that is impossible (or at least extremely difficult) to trace. One of the people involved calls it an "anonymous, anti-tyranny blogging service."

If you're interested, please send e-mail to Jim Hake at [email protected] --

Note to other bloggers: Please post your own notice about this. It's a good cause.

NOTE: If you tried sending Jim mail earlier today and it bounced, that's because the address was listed incorrectly for a while. Please try again.

I also get a bouceback that it no longer accepts mail.

Seems to me that this project would be a perfect opportunity to deploy Freenet see:

As with any technology that allows anonymous communication, do you have any concern about potential use to enable terrorist communications?

[Dan Gillmor]

Michael, of course. But I assume that any halfway intelligent terrorist is already using such tools, which are readily available for communcation among individuals or small groups. Terrorists would gain nothing from the tools we're discussing here.
