> A group of hackers is finishing work on software that would enable
> human rights workers to access censored Web sites, Reuters reported
> yesterday. The software, called "Peekabooty," will circumvent
> filters designed to block access to Web sites by going around them,
> using a distributed privacy network. Nearly 30 volunteers are
> working on the project, including lawyers, programmers, students,
> and human rights workers in the United States, China, Canada,
> Europe, Israel, Taiwan, and South Korea, the group, Hactivismo,
> said.
