                        after reading all ur conversation...<br /> 
                        <br /> 
                        <br /> 
                        for me i didnt understand a very important thing :<br /> 
                        how come a software or tools as Telex and is not anonymity??????<br /> 
                        because the most of blocked sites by the governments are restricted also and censored...<br /> 
                        <br /> 
                        <br /> 
                        so &nbsp;i dont think a software like Telex can work against these governments cause no body is ready to loose his freedom....<br /> 
                        <br /> 
                        couldn't resist - sorry<br /> 
                        "cause no body is ready to loose his freedom..."<br /> 
                        we're already losing our freedoms<br /> 
                        tor is about running and hiding<br /> 
                        <br /> 
                        thx<br />

                                &gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Google AppEngine provides a platform which can be used to run your own<br /> 
                                &gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; proxy servers for free, Gtalk supports XMPP which can also be used to<br /> 
                                &gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; circumvent censorship.<br /> 
                                &gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; Google actively cooperates with US authorities regardless of user's<br /> 
                                &gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; geography, so using Google's infrastructure for anonymity is an<br /> 
                                &gt; &gt;&gt;&gt; oxymoron.<br /> 
                                &gt; &gt;&gt;<br /> 
                                &gt; &gt;&gt; I agree, but again, we were talking about anti-censorship, not<br /> 
                                &gt; &gt;&gt; anonymity. Frankly people in China or Iran has much more to fear from<br /> 
                                &gt; &gt;&gt; their own government than from US authorities.<br />

                                &gt; &gt; Jimmy, though you have some valid points, I think you missed my point<br /> 
                                &gt; &gt; entirely (possibly some other posters').<br /> 
                                &gt; &gt;<br /> 
                                &gt;<br /> 
                                &gt; Actually I do see your point, as I have said, we have different<br /> 
                                &gt; assumptions regarding how censor would react to anti-censorship<br /> 
                                &gt; activities, let's just agree to disagree here. But even under your<br /> 
                                &gt; assumption, I don't see the reason to bash Google here. True, Google<br /> 
                                &gt; could sell you out to governments, but so could any company (for example<br /> 
                                &gt; your ISP). The difference between Google and your average company is: a.<br /> 
                                &gt; Google actually made a stand against censorship, and suffered the<br /> 
                                &gt; retaliation; b. Google is providing computation resources for free. If<br /> 
                                &gt; you want privacy/anonymity, you just need to code encryption routines<br /> 
                                &gt; for the proxy you run on Google's AppEngine, it's no different from the<br /> 
                                &gt; suggestion to run Tor over Telex. And for the free service they provided<br /> 
                                &gt; against censorship, we should be thanking Google (and Telex if it gets<br /> 
                                &gt; built). As far as I can see, Tor is already losing against the censors,<br /> 
                                &gt; I think Tor should welcome some help in fighting against them.<br />
