How to: Circumvent Online Censorship

When someone who controls your net connection filters or blocks a site, you can almost always use a circumvention tool to get to the information you need.

There are different ways of beating Internet censorship. Some protect you from surveillance, but many do not.

              Welcome to the Utopian Dreams newsletter.

Starpunk is an informal project by artists and techies to help connect independent artists with fans who value their work.

Our core values are human rights – emphasising the rights of women, LGBT, Native, Latin, Asian, black and biracial/multiethnic populations around the world. We celebrate all humanity and highlight the value of underrepresented voices in science fiction. Although many tend to forget, this includes older, non-neurotypical and disabled people.

This isn’t about “inclusion” as a trendy buzzword. It’s about not excluding the world’s majority as our global culture enters the future.

The most fascinating new stories are ones that haven’t yet been told.

In support of human rights, Starpunk is explicitly anti-nuclear war, anti-police brutality and anti-police militarisation.

We’re anti-surveillance (hence, Starpunk offers subscriptions and never runs intrusive advertising) and strongly support users’ right to privacy.

This is the 2019.01.25 issue of the Starpunk Utopian Dreams newsletter. Hope you enjoy it. :)

   An It Harm None: Protect Your Art. Don’t Be a Copyright Troll.

Over much of 2018, Starpunk's parent project, A.ltSciFi, was targeted by a defamation campaign started by one artist on Twitter. Read more about it here (click here).

The experience of online harassment and copyright trolling has added a new emphasis to our project:

Starpunk is also dedicated to helping artists protect themselves against being taken advantage of online. That includes dealing with copyright issues intelligently without harming other artists or fans, and protecting themselves against being slandered by malevolent groups of trolls.

   An It Harm None: Protect Your Art. Don’t Be a Copyright Troll.

Over much of the year 2018, Starpunk's parent project, A.ltSciFi, was targeted by a defamation campaign started by one artist for the sake of getting “clout” among her friends on Twitter. We later caught her running a different scam against another artist (surprise, surprise). Read more about it here (click here).
