DOWNLOAD Information Liberation: Your Guide to the International Web

MakeUseOf Newsletter


The world wide web is supposed to be just that: world wide. Sometimes it simply isn't, however: there is government censorship blocking certain sites in certain countries and corporate censorship keeping you from accessing their content unless you're in another. Want to get around these and other pitfalls of the global Internet? Download our latest manual!

By author Jim Rion, this guide is a must-have for anyone looking for access to the complete Internet. Media producers, like the BBC, often insist on restricting access to their products to certain geographical regions to protect their business models. Distributors (e.g. iTunes) are complicit in this, or even instigate it. Even worse, some governments insist on restricting Internet communication and blocking access to international websites.

This guide, then, is a small attempt at helping people deal with all of these problems. The Internet should connect people all over the world, not divide them. Whether you are a backpacker trying to check your email from a hostel in Denmark, or a college student trying to get past the Great Firewall of China, there's something in this manual for you.
