哈,中国防火长城漏风了!

Analyzer是GreatFire的第一个项目,在2011年上线后,它一如以往的为大家提供测试服务直至今日。现在,我们做了一个新的项目叫做"Blocky",欢迎大家试用这个全新的版本!如果您对此有任何意见和建议,请发送邮件到support@greatfire.org

 

今天我们决定将和中国互联网审查的战役上升到新的层次。

在早先,11月15日,我们报道了路透社中国华尔街日报中文网被屏蔽,我们网站的测试验证了此次屏蔽。

 

我们推测此次屏蔽是因为纽约时报在11月14日发表了摩根大通与温家宝女儿常丽丽(真名温如春)曾有商业往来。路透社中国对此进行了转载,大概因此被全站封锁。

为回应此次封锁,我们为路透社中国制作了在中国可以访问的镜像,链接见下:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/cn.reuters/index.html

此网站能在中国免翻墙访问。

注意:我们并未获得路透社中国的许可。如果路透社要求我们移除此镜像站点,我们会立即移除。

我们已经用这种方法为我们自己被墙的站点建立了镜像,自由微博的镜像如下:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/freeweibo/index.html

自由微博展示了被新浪和中国政府审查的内容。 自由微博的官方域名早被中国封锁,但我们仍然每日超15000访客,大部分是是中国翻墙的用户。

我们想让中国拥有信息自由。翻墙软件对用户有想到的技术要求。我们的镜像域名可以让GFW无法封锁自由微博,除非GFW愿意封锁大量正常网站,并造成相当大的经济损失。

我们的镜像网站是独一无二的,因为我们并不使用自己的域名,而是使用亚马逊以及谷歌支持HTTPS加密的域名。这意味者GFW无法单独封锁我们的网站,而只能将将亚马逊和谷歌的域名“s3.amazonaws.com” 和 “commondatastorage.googleapis.com”一同封锁。

GFW可能真的会这样做,但其后果是非常严重的,在中国的企业可能会因此遭受非常严重的经济损失。在2013年1月,中国对Github进行了封锁,估计是因为有敏感内容。但封锁遭到了来自中国开发者非常激烈的抵抗。随后,中国政府只好解封了Github

我们这次为路透社建立镜像网站的目的是告诉中国政府以及中国网民,中国防火墙是有漏洞的。 为了堵上漏洞,中国政府只有两个选择。一是封锁亚马逊和谷歌造成数千网站无法访问,大量中国网民会注意到注意到中国互联网审查。二是逼迫亚马逊和谷歌移除我们的镜像站点。我们此前报道过苹果移除了OpenDoor,一款iPhone上的翻墙软件。这周又有彭博社自我审查的报道。我们希望亚马逊和谷歌不要进行类似的自我审查。

习近平先生,您其实还有第三种选择,如果你在阅读此文的话。 无视我们的镜像网站,假装什么事情都没发生。或者更好的方案是,解除对者两个网站,以及其他上百个网站的封锁。闪电般进行解封,会惊讶到每个人。这样您会作为真正的改革者而功垂千古。

我们参与的OpenITP的报道“依附的自由”,我们完全同意他们的结论:

中国互联网自由的关键议题并非封锁而是分割。当商业活动和网络自由捆绑在一起无法分割的时. 候,中国的互联网前景就有改善的希望。

...

不过,我们认为更积极的应对措施不是放弃,恰恰相反,而是将商务活动和网络自由更加紧密地捆缚在一起。如果我们只从几个特定的商务平台翻墙,那么这些网站可能被逐个识别出来并加以封锁。所以我们应该从长计议,将反审查技术延伸至网络基础架构,使其溶入到大型网络服务商的数据交换系统里。最理想的做法是,我们能争取到用戶从登入互联网网际网域的一刻,已进入加密传送协定(而非局限在几个特定的网站上),以确保网络畅通无阻。

1.4 million people used FreeBrowser to circumvent the Great Firewall of Turkmenistan

Since 2021, the authorities in Turkmenistan have taken exceptional measures to crack down on the use of circumvention tools. Citizens have been forced to swear on the Koran that they will not use a VPN. Circumvention tool websites have been systematically blocked. Arbitrary searches of mobile devices have also taken place and have even targeted school children and teachers.

The government has also blocked servers hosting VPNs which led to “near complete” internet shutdowns on several occasions in 2022. Current reports indicate that 66 hosting providers, 19 social networks and messaging platforms, and 10 leading content delivery networks (CDNs), are blocked in the country. The government presumably is unconcerned about the negative economic impact that such shutdowns can cause.

Well-intentioned decisions have just made it easier for Putin to control the Russian Internet

This article is in large part inspired by a recent article from Meduza (in Russian).

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Russian users have had problems accessing government websites and online banking clients. Browsers began to mark these sites as unsafe and drop the connection. The reason is the revocation of digital security certificates by foreign certificate authorities (either as a direct consequence of sanctions or as an independent, good will move); without them, browsers do not trust sites and “protect” their users from them.

However, these actions, caused - or at least triggered by - a desire to punish Russia for their gruesome actions in Ukraine, will have long-lasting consequences for Russian netizens.

Digital certificates are needed to confirm that the site the user wants to visit is not fraudulent. The certificates contain encryption keys to establish a secure connection between the site and the user. It is very easy to understand whether a page on the Internet is protected by a certificate. One need just look at the address bar of the browser. If the address begins with the https:// prefix, and there is a lock symbol next to the address, the page is protected. By clicking on this lock, you can see the status of the connection, the name of the Certification Authority (CA) that issued the certificate, and its validity period.

There are several dozen commercial and non-commercial organizations in the world that have digital root certificates, but 3/4 of all certificates are issued by only five of the largest companies. Four of them are registered in the USA and one is registered in Belgium.

GreatFire 应用生成器 发布

GreatFire (https://en.greatfire.org/) 是一家专注于中国的审查监督组织,我们自豪地宣布一个新的反审查工具,该工具将使任何被屏蔽的媒体、博客、人权组织或民间社会组织反制审查,将其内容得以传播到中国和其他互联网审查国家的数百万读者和支持者的手机上。

GreatFire 已经构建了一个名为“GreatFire 应用生成器”的网页程序,任何组织可以使用它来为中国和其他国家的用户解锁他们的内容。任何人可以访问 (https://appmaker.greatfire.org/),该网站将编译一个带有自己logo的应用,并将包含他们以前被封锁的内容。该应用还将包含一个特殊的、绕过审查的网络浏览器,以便用户可以访问未经审查的网络。这些应用将使用包括机器学习在内的多种策略来规避中国当局先进的审查策略。这个项目在其他有类似中国的审查限制的国家也同样有效。对于组织和最终用户而言,这些应用将免费、快速且非常易于使用。

这个项目的灵感来自于GreatFire自己的应用 自由浏览(https://freebrowser.org/en)的第一手经验,并希望帮助那些可能没有内部专业知识来规避中国审查制度的小型非政府组织。GreatFire的反审查工具在中国发挥了作用,而其他工具却没有。自由浏览可以引导中国的互联网用户从应用的首页进入被僧所内容的导航(http://manyvoices.news/)。

   

人权基金会 (HRF) 已经使用 GreatFire 应用生成器 创建了一个应用程序HRF 在全球范围内促进和保护人权。该组织的使命是确保自由在世界范围内得到维护和促进。 HRF 的网站 在中国被封锁, 但现在中国任何人都可以 下载 HRF Android 应用程序 并访问该网站的信息。

“现在是中国政府防火墙倒塌的时候了,”人权基金会战略顾问王珍妮说。 “与我们在 GreatFire 的朋友一起,我们致力于击败中国的审查制度——在每一部手机。”

GreatFire 应用生成器 的起源可以追溯到 2014 年,当时开放技术基金 (OTF) 支持 GreatFire 的“依附的自由”实验。该项目直接导致了 2015 年中国政府的大规模网络攻击,后来被称为“大炮”。 OTF 还为 GreatFire 开发 AppleCensorship.com,该网站正在跟踪苹果对包括香港在内的全球应用商店的审查情况。

自由浏览 是“大炮”攻击的直接结果,五年后,我们很高兴能够向任何可能遭受中国当局审查的组织提供我们的方法。

Apple, anticompetition, and censorship

On July 20, 2020, GreatFire wrote to all 13 members of the Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial and Administrative Law of the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary, requesting a thorough examination into Apple’s practice of censorship of its App Store, and an investigation into how the company collaborates with the Chinese authorities to maintain its unique position as one of the few foreign tech companies operating profitably in the Chinese digital market.  

This letter was sent a week before Apple CEO TIm Cook will be called for questioning in front of the Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial and Administrative Law. The CEOs of Amazon, Google and Facebook will also be questioned on July 27, as part of the Committee’s ongoing investigation into competition in the digital marketplace.

This hearing offers an opportunity to detail to the Subcommittee how Apple uses its closed operating ecosystem to not only abuse its market position but also to deprive certain users, most notably those in China, of their right to download and use apps related to privacy, secure communication, and censorship circumvention.

We hope that U.S. House representatives agree with our view that Apple should not be allowed to do elsewhere what would be considered as unacceptable in the U.S. Chinese citizens are not second class citizens. Private companies such as Apple compromise themselves and their self-proclaimed values of freedom and privacy when they collaborate with the Chinese government and its censors.

苹果审查中国西藏的信息

苹果在涉及西藏的审查方面有着悠久历史。 2009年,据计算机世界网透露 ,与达赖喇嘛有关的几个应用程序在苹果的中国区应用商店中不存在。这些应用的开发者未收到他们的应用被删除的通知。当面对这些审查制度时,苹果发言人只是说该公司将“继续遵守当地法律”。

2017年12月,在中国的一次会议上,当被问及与中国当局合作审查苹果应用商店时,蒂姆·库克 宣称

“所以你的选择是参与进去,还是站在局外,吼叫着事情应当怎样?我自己的看法非常强烈,你得进入赛场,因为没有任何东西会从局外发生改变。"

自苹果公司首次因与中国当局合作以遏制已被边缘化的声音而被批评的十年间,情况发生了什么变化?苹果继续严格遵守中国当局的审查令。蒂姆库克什么时候会期望他的公司能帮助在中国带来积极的变化?

根据生成的数据 https://applecensorship.com,Apple现在已经审查了在中国应用商店中29个西藏的热门应用程序。关于新闻,宗教研究,旅游甚至游戏的西藏主题应用程序正在被苹果审查。最下方附有完整的审查应用列表。

“苹果的领导力隐藏在他们审查应用程序以遵守模糊的'中国当地法律'的借口,但他们的行为缺乏任何透明度。通过从中国苹果应用商店删除藏文和其他许多应用程序,苹果阻碍了藏人获取信息和自由表达自己的能力,这是国际法下的一项基本人权。“ TibCERT(西藏计算机应急准备小组)的响应协调员Dorjee Phuntsok说道。 他们与GreatFire合作对被屏蔽的应用程序进行了分析。

   2019年1月,GreatFire推出了applecensorship.com。在那时,GreatFire联合创始人马丁约翰逊指出:“苹果公司在其透明度报告中没有分享有关应用商店审查的信息 - 该项目强制透明度。蒂姆库克可以随心所欲地说苹果在中国做了或没有做什么,但 applecensorship.com 提供了可以实际看到苹果实施审查原始数据的途径。

分析苹果在中国审查的iOS应用程序

有许多应用程序由藏人或为藏人制作,苹果正在审查中国区应用商店中的许多应用程序。了解某些应用程序被阻止的方式和原因以及这些决策背后的基本原理非常重要。为了解这一点,TibCERT(西藏应急准备小组)对在中国应用商店中被审查的藏文应用程序进行了分析。该研究使用关键字搜索藏文应用程序,然后使用GreatFire提供的应用程序审查平台。

TibCERT分析了119个以藏语为主题的iOS应用程序。使用“西藏”,“藏人”,“达赖喇嘛”,“佛教”,“藏传佛教”,等关键词搜索苹果应用商店时,可以找到下面列出的应用程序。这些应用程序分为五大类:“宗教或文化”,“媒体/政治”,“娱乐”,“工具”和“教育”。

Significant economic fallout ? Wow, who told you that? Given the current circumstances, any one who cares about reliability in mainland china will choose not to use AWS or GCS, for the exact reason of not taking the risk that these will be blocked.
I think what you are doing is not helping but instead another reason for GFW to block these services. Google and Amazon would suffer more.

You can also make a downloadable offline mirror version of any website. I don't think GFW can really monitor what you have on your computer!

do you mind to share how do u mirrors the websites using amazon/google?
Appreciate your reply!
thanks!

I think this is one of the most important information foor me.

excellent but with images and videos, this site could undeniably be
one of the greatest in its field. Amazing blog!

With the install complete you should now be looking at the Piriform CCleaner Application box.
It is also way for the consumer to know which is a good product
and what are definitely the things other users say and have
experienced using the certain registry cleaner software.
Moreover, the fragmented registry keys, embedded keys that are generated
and also the malware programs, traces of faulty uninstallation - pretty much all these make
the registry size broad as well.
