Edoors.com has published a beta service ranking the most popular sites viewed through its global anti-censorship network.
In recent years, in countries that lack free access to information, approximately one million Internet users have begun to use Anti-Censorship tools to bypass Internet security barriers created by those centralized governments.
Until now, there has been no way for various industries, academia, government, and non-governmental organizations to know the statistics on the total viewership of websites viewed with Anti-Censorship tools. Academia, government and various industries have been unable to use these statistics in their research and decision-making.
For the first time, Edoors.com has listed all websites that Internet users have accessed using Anti-Censorship tools. This website ranking service assures safety to Internet users and provides statistics on website popularity.
Information is taken from the Global Internet Liberty Alliance. The Alliance member companies take credit for 95 percent of Internet information flow in countries such as Iran, China, Vietnam, and Burma.
These companies possess many Anti-Censorship tools, including Freegate, Unbounded View, Garden Network, Global Pass, and FirePhoenix. Currently, the website ranking service does not include statistics about all of the Anti-Censorship tools, but in the future, it will include all tools and their statistics.
The website ranking service shows that, through the alliance of companies dedicated to providing free access to information, the number of websites viewed and the types of websites viewed are very different from those in the past year.
In addition to categorizing these websites into different types and languages, Edoors.com also provides daily "Anti-Censorship Top 10" and "Anti-Censorship Top 100" rankings.
"Before we established this service, we asked the opinions of many agencies and received enthusiastic replies," Alex Wang, the vice-president of Edoors, says, "We are happy to be able to provide this data for statistical analysis to researchers and non-governmental organizations. This is yet another move to promote free flow of information across the Internet."
