[edit] ability vs likelihood of restrictive governments to block https
"As https protocol is widely used for secure communication over the Internet..., no government can block the usage of https."
This ambiguity of this sentence seems to confuse a restrictive government's ability to block access with reasonable government policies on network traffic. Given that Psiphon is designed specifically to provide access to citizens dealing with known-unreasonable governments, the statement "no government can block https" is either incomplete; should continue to say, "without further restricting their citizens access".

[edit] Tor similarities & differences
Can anyone with more in-depth knowledge of Psiphon flesh out this entry with how it differs from Tor and other anonymity networks? This would be useful as a growing number of people are familiar with Tor and it would serve as good point of reference to explain Psiphon.
- From the Tor article:
-
Like all current low-latency anonymity networks, Tor is vulnerable to correlation attacks from attackers who can watch both ends of a user's connection. In a number of countries, various government agencies have access to connection data of a large number of internet service providers. Because of this, Tor is not suitable for protection against observation by those government agencies.

[edit] Current Status?
The software was scheduled to release to the public at the end of May, but obviously the devlopers still haven't delivered it yet. What is the plan?

[edit] Use: Anonymity?
I disagree with this categorisation; it's not an anonymity system, it's an accessibility system. Anchoress 00:02, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
