China’s Censorship Firewall Defeated

A group of computer experts from the University of Cambridge claims that they are now able to circumvent the censorship mechanism that China uses to block unwanted content from reaching its citizens. Certain words are banned and certain websites are also banned. A user sitting within the country’s network will not be able to reach websites for which the government has deemed inappropriate. China itself has defended its right to police the Internet for its citizens many times.

It was bound to happen, and there’s no doubt this ‘hole’ has already been exploited before. I am sure it will not take them long to fix it though.
