Impakt Online would like to offer a series of links to projects that are considered to be a substantial addition to the Dissidents & Restrictions theme. All of the projects listed below contribute to the ongoing discourse concerning the value of privacy, censorship on the Internet and other issues addressed by our theme.

Psiphon
Psiphon enables people to make their computer act as a server, thus giving people the opportunity to redirect data to people that don't have unlimited access to websites, due to censorship.

Open-search.net
The open-search project proposes to build a distributed, peer-to-peer, search-engine. By combining the already existing technologies of peer-to-peer file storage, distributed crawling and peer-to-peer searching, we hope to solve the problems inherent to a centralised search-engine: manipulation, censorship and profiling.

Access Flickr!
This add-on for Mozilla's Firefox enables users to access Flickr's photo-database in any part of the world, making sure censorship won't get in the way.

Opennet Initiative
Internet censorship and surveillance are growing global phenomena. ONI's mission is to identify and document Internet filtering and surveillance, and to promote and inform wider public dialogue about such practices.

Access Denied Map
Global Voices Advocacy seeks to build a global anti-censorship network of bloggers and online activists throughout the developing world that is dedicated to protecting freedom of expression and free access to information online. The aim of this network is to raise the awareness of online freedom of speech issues and to share tools and tactics with activists and bloggers facing similar situations in different parts of the globe.

Softhook
This artist states: Technology is not the neutral, rational instrument that it is portrayed as; instead it appears to be a heady and unstable mix of authoritarian control and anarchic mischief.
My approach is to slip into the gap between these two poles and use it as my medium by combining the freedom offered by the art world with the agency obtainable through design and technology.

State of Sabotage
