...censorship filter Cyberpatrol, works. The Canadian and Swedish programmers took apart the Cyberpatrol program to figure out how it stored the lists of websites that Cyberpatrol blocks. Cyberpatrol distributes that list in encrypted form, scrambled so that no consumers who purchase the product can tell exactly what the censor they have installed is censoring...
Enough has already been said on the topic of the now notorious Mister Chu. The comic strip's readership has spiked from five people (the artists, their mothers and the AAA censor) to approximately 12 people, according to a recent Crimson poll.

In past years, the United States has come under heavy criticism for the strength of its anti-encryption legislation. Rules against both the exportation of such software and its use at home have been stringent enough to warrant the attention of free speech watchdog groups around the globe. One of the most respected of these groups, the Global Internet Liberty Campaign, gave the U.S. a "yellow...
