Canadian software helps Syrian activists avoid web censors

As the events in Syria continue the government has sought to further limit the peoples access to the internet in an attempt to control the amount of information getting into the country from international sources about the current conflicts. The government has in actuality proceeded in censorship efforts to block any dissemination of information by the people to the outside world and because of this members of the international community are funding and creating ways to circumvent the censorship. Thanks to the previous efforts to avoid censorship in China and other countries, a Canadian software group managed to provide a program called Psiphon 3, which avoids and overcomes attempts to block internet traffic to banned or censored sites. This program has become a growing power for the Syrian people since its introduction and has seen upwards of 30,000 different users in the past months.
