'Le Grand Secret': Routing Around Censorship in 1996
The news is a bit old—okay, 13 years old—but I thought it would be interesting to look back at one of the first big high-profile cases that showed how the Internet could route around political censorship.
http://www.teleread.org/2009/03/31/c...-grand-secret/ In 1996, François Mitterrand’s personal physician wrote a tell-all after Mitterrand's death, claiming that Mitterrand misled the public as to his health all through his time in office. Mitterrand's family didn't like this and got the French court to ban it—but someone scanned it into the Internet, and away it went! |
