It was seeded by Google Ideas but we've yet to see how much control they have over it versus UW and BNS. For that matter since it is designe to use either the G+ or Facebook social graph, it is somewhat saying this is for people who are already doing what they do and want to improve their performance. Considering how many people in Iran I know who already use social media extensively - this might be a good approach to just spreading the risk across MANY more people. I don't know yet but I think it does something else we're not considering: It says you already knew I was here - and now you have to risk even MORE restrictions and such social and technical overhead to do anything about it. Are you - the State - willing to do that? I say, at least in Iran's case, that's a GREAT question to put to them in this seemingly lightweight way. So - as of now - I see uProxy as a "COME AT ME BRO" statement hoping to make the cost of doing so - socially and technically - prohibitive by maing it MUCH easier to use and thus build that installed userbase. Here is to hope. *shrug* -Ali -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
