« Odeo Beta Generates Controversy | Main | Microsoft Censoring Free Speech in China »Torcasting Lets Podcasters Speak Their Minds AnonymouslyJune 18, 2005UndergroundMedia.org has published an introduction to Torcasting Article, a method for publishing content to the web anonymously. Recent events, including a podcaster losing his job over his show, Microsoft's censoring of messages in China and the revealing of the identity of Deep Throat, highlight the fact that freedom of speech sometimes requires the freedom to speak. UndergroundMedia is an outlet for media information to help empower the average person to take an active role in media. "In order to have a true voice, one has to also have the ability to be anonymous," notes UndergroundMedia. "Privacy is a key component of freedom of press and expression. This is where Tor comes in." By combining Torcasting with anonymizing voice effects, podcasters can speak their minds while preserving their anonymity. About Tor & Torcasting Tor is an “onion routing” project. An onion router is a way of creating tunnels among a group of servers that encrypt traffic and create multiple layers of security, and in turn privacy, for those connecting to the network. When you use Tor, you can set up hidden services, including a web server that is only available to other Tor users. This means that the server you are running and the services it offers are anonymous. By setting up a hidden Tor server, you can distribute MP3 files, while obscuring your location and identity.
