Help Protesters in Iran: Run a Tor Bridge or a Tor Relay Internet

users in Iran are using Tor to both (a) circumvent censorship systems and
(b) remain anonymous while reading and writing on the Internet. Both are
critically important to the safety of protesters, many of whom fear
retaliation from the government. Preliminary reports indicate that use of
the Tor client in Iran has increased in the days after the contested
election.

Are US Regulations Hurting Free Speech in Iran?
EFF has been watching with concern the blocking of Web 2.0 sites in
countries like Iran. This new threat doesn't come from foreign governments:
it appears to be coming from the ambiguity of the United States' own export
regulations.
