Arab Newspaper reports use of Quickbrowse to circumvent Web censorship in repressive countries

Miami Beach, Florida, September 21, 2000

A Morrocan newspaper reports that Quickbrowse is being used to circumvent Web censorship in repressive countries. "A new free service on the web challenging the censorship. Don't go to forbidden sites... Let them come to you!" reads the headline in Azzaman (www.azzaman.com), a daily newspaper circulated in the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, US and Canada. The author points out how the email delivery feature in Quickbrowse can be used to view Web pages even if browsers prevented from accessing these page directly.

The original article and an English translation is available at http://www.quickbrowse.com/press/azzaman/.

"We did not design our software to avoid censorship in foreign countries. But we are proud it is being used as a tool to enhance free speech though out the world" says Marc Fest, CEO of Quickbrowse. But he says, as a former journalist himself, he is especially happy about this unexpected use of Quickbrowse. "The most rewarding use of Quickbrowse I have heard of to date. "

Marc, adds, "we learn of new applications weekly". Similar to the censorship case described in Azzaman, some US users say that they use Quickbrowse to avoid their IT and Human Resources departments restrictions for using the Web.

Marc explains that "Quickbrowse’s users set up collections of different web-pages on a Quickbrowse page and then use the free service’s e-mail function to receive the page daily. Although the e-mail can contain dozens of web pages the corporate server will only recognize the Quickbrowse IP address and therefore will be unaware of the actual content included in the e-mail.
