There are few media usages as abhorrent as child pornography and publishers and users should be prosecuted vigorously. Watermark technologies can flag such users and result in prosecution.

Will Psiphon facilitate access to such sites as well? I know that freedom of speech and information can often be a double-edged sword, but I do have to wonder who will bear the brunt of any legal action that may result from the user of Psiphon - the server provider or the actual user? I wouldn't be surprised if software like this eventually resulted in renewed calls for establishing a global body to control the Interenet (of course, one where China would have a strong voice).

I mean isn't it equivalent to providing cable to your neighbor illegally? Could you be held liable by your ISP? I wonder if this open-source technology would violate the law.
