Open Net Initiatives--- Searches Secret Monitoring Systems And Destoys Them In Favor Of Net Users








The Open Net Intiative(ONI) is efficiently safeguarding the rights of net users against government interruption and blocking the hinderances in the way of freedom of expression. The ONI basic target is to search the secret monitoring system and to destroy it. Many countries that fear of criticism on their government policies censor or install filters on different social websites, the experts of ONI remain busy in the struggle to eliminating these filters. So that social evils may be reflected in real sense and problems may be understoo. For this p[urpose, The Citizen Lab of the International; Study Center of Toronto Univesity, Barkman Center for Internet And Society of Howard University, Oxford Internet Institute of Oxford University and "SeDev" group of Cambridge University are working shoulder to shoulder with ONI. All these Institutes remain busy on the basis of knowledge and reseasrch to create such ways and programs that could keep the filtering system imn control. Moreover, the experts advise and provide consultations to the website owners; whose sites get into the grip of filtering system, to adopt new strategies to run their sites safely. The most important role in by-passing the censorship installed by governments and conveying the ideas, thoughts and views of users to each other, is being played by the software Pslphone. It cleans the way of users to share information by controlling the secret censorship through softwares or black outs. This importanttool of the ONI is the acheivement of experts at Citizen lab in Toronto University. Such Reasearch material is alsopublished under the auspices of ONI that provides the latest information about the countries affectede by censorships. It also publishes the contents that have been blocked through filtration or censorship or its nature is disclosed. ONI has also published three books so far, among which in the first book light has been thrown on the internet filtering on political basis. Ther second book 'cyber space' is about the laws and rights of the users, while the third book carries the material about identity, protection, and rights of the user's reactions. All the three books can be read online. The senior experts at the center of the ONI include (+)Dr Ron Delbert of Toronto University, (+) John Palfrey of Howard University, professor (+) Rohozinski of SeDev group and (+) Prof. Jonethan Zittran of Birkman Centre for IOnternet and Society.
