Google Boots Open-Source Anti-Censorship Tool "Ahoy" from Chrome Store
It's really interesting to see this story presented this way and nobody here seems to have even bothered to try to find another perspective.<p>So, let's see the other side, i guess:<p>"We have nearly 1500 blocked sites in Portugal, where ~80% are piracy sites, 19ish% are gambling sites, and Uber (I know, right?). The full list is available at our site <a href="https://sitesbloqueados.pt/" rel="nofollow">https://sitesbloqueados.pt/</a> and we are able to compile this list with info gathered by our fellow users, automatically."<p>from<p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/7swz4r/iama_developer_of_ahoy_a_browser_extension_to/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/7swz4r/iama_developer...</a><p>(IE the developer themselves)<p>Yeah, a tool that's used for avoiding blocks on piracy and gambling, i'm shocked to find it was taken down!<p>Regardless of whether you agree, i think it's not uncommon or non-standard, and probably not (unlike some here seem to think) related to chinese censorship or other fun conspiracy theories.
