Chinese Citizens Get Censor-Free Internet Through Anonymizer
Operation Anti-Censorship Now Unveiled for People of China
San Diego, Calif. – March 31, 2006
Anonymizer® Inc., the leader in online identity protection software and services, today announced the launch of Operation Anti-Censorship. This new privacy software, created specifically for Chinese citizens, will enable safe access to the entire Internet by circumventing the Web filters put in place by the government. In addition, the new solution protects users from detection, persecution, and retribution by shielding their personal identities and related information that the Chinese government is currently able to monitor.
Citizens of China can download the free software today at www.xifuchun.com. The success of this program relies heavily on word-of-mouth promotion, and “Tell a Friend” functionality has been added to the site. All people are encouraged to share the news about Operation Anti-Censorship with their friends and family. Bloggers, reporters, and other media outlets are also urged to spread the word by promoting this Web site today.
“Anonymizer is excited to provide this free service to the people of China,” said Lance Cottrell, president and chief scientist, Anonymizer Inc. “Our goal is to make the Internet an even playing field for everyone, including those under the rule of repressive regimes. We’ve had great success in other areas of the world, including our current work in Iran, and we’re looking forward to bringing safe Internet access to others.”
The Web site that currently hosts the software download is www.xifuchun.com, however please note that this URL will be changed on a regular basis to avoid blocking by the Chinese government. Anonymizer relies on early adopters to share the regularly changing URLs with their friends and family members so the number of people able to safely access the Internet continues to grow.
How to Get Started
To download the software, users must first submit a valid email address at www.xifuchun.com to receive regular updates containing new configuration directions and the latest location of the download site.
