Yea, good ol' Pandora ;)
CNN had the same concerns. They asked Channel One if broadcasting the pen
images and info was wise. The reporter asked if Channel One was putting
Iranians in danger because the authorities and militia would now look for those
pens. Channel One responded by saying the pens have been in use for a while,
I guess that means the past week or so.
I have doubts about the abilities and sophistication of the Iranian Internet
censors. They haven't blocked Tor or apparently Freegate, and I'm sure that
means I2P2 gateways are also working...
>I encourage you to talk to Channel One. I'm also happy to help out.
Great! If you would like to contact them I think that would be best. I'm just
some guy, but you are not. You know so much more than I do and it seems your
grammar is better too :) An official contact from a member of the Tor Project
would be a great choice, I'm sure Channel One will respond.
Do
you know if Pidgen translated into Farsi?
I was thinking about asking them to translate the Bridges[1] and TBB install page[2] into
Farsi. They could translate the text easy enough I assume. An added bonus would
be if they translated the Tor Overview page[3].

P.S. Would you mind CCing me? If not I understand, thanks.
