Dear readers,
We continue to seek solutions for the residents of Turkmenistan who are unable to access our website due to the blocking of the web resource.
Our website “Chronicles of Turkmenistan” is now accessible at the following address: https://d24s49bpilo0f2.cloudfront.net. You are invited to share this link with your family and friends in Turkmenistan.
Our friends from the organization “Reporters without borders” have launched the project titled Operation Collateral Freedom. In the course of the project implementation “mirrors” of a dozen of websites, which are blocked in their home countries, will be created. Mirror copies will be placed on the servers which are unlikely to be blocked by the governments (although it is technically possible), as this will negatively affect thousands of companies operating in these countries and using these servers on a daily basis.
The campaign by Collateral Freedom is based on the technology designed by Chinese cyber activists from the organization GreatFire. Since 2013 this group has been successfully setting up mirror websites of Deutsche Welle, Google and China Digital Times which are protected from blocking and accessible to Chinese users. The GreatFire developments with an open code can be used by any activists to fight against internet censorship.
