More and more countries are practicing internet censorship, and with increasingly sophisticated tools, according to U-M Assistant Professor J. Alex Halderman. To combat that, Halderman and his team are developing a software that allows users to be rerouted around internet blocks to access restricted content in non-censored countries.
