Blog for a Cause!: adds blasting caps to dynamite. Most of us have trouble bringing our little light from under a bushel basket of censorship.
Innocently, I forwarded a post from an Iranian who had been tortured by the regime there.
Now an American citizen activist he asks various US officials to help other torture victims.
The automatic censors intercepted my re-posting before it arrived to the Jerusalem Post.
The censors put a 128-byte encrypted firewall that ended my ISP connection to the Internet. It took me 3 months to by-pass the block.
The censors picked the words terrorist, torture, Iran etc out of context.
That's what AdVox fights; that's why I am proud to support your effort.
