Courtesy of Michael Shtender-Auerbach at the Century Foundation comes news of a campaign against web censorship kicked off by Amnesty International. Called Irrepressible.Info, the campaign asks bloggers and online publications to publish material that has been censored somewhere in the world. (We’ve done it — check the right hand column for Farsi content banned in Iran).
Amnesty International has teamed with The Observer and the Opennet Initiative to launch Irrepressible.Info. As an interesting side-note Amnesty International got off the ground 45 years ago through The Observer when British Lawyer Peter Beneson wrote an article for the paper titled “The Forgotten Prisoners.”
