The Internet is the single most powerful medium for free expression and
speech in the history. This freedom is endangered by many initiatives
that are trying to block access to content for certain audiences. For
example the inhabitants of a whole state.
The notion is that Internet traffic needs to be monitored and information
has to be filtered to protect Internet users from pornography, racism,
crime and every other non-valid content. With a filter system installed
at local providers, it's easy to block any information that could be
"illegal" in a national context from the international medium Internet.
State agencies promote restricted access and are even threatening to sue
providers who are not willing to cooperate. Providers claim that it is
technically not possible or too expensive to install a filter system that
blocks access to unwanted information on a large scale. There is no
discussion around the topic of informational freedom, the possible abuse
of a once installed filter system or the destruction of the potential the
Internet offers in its current state.

Intelligence services want to read emails, monitor each internet user and
a lot more.
ODEM.org aims to put a new view to the discussion by presenting an
off-the-shelf information blocking, filtering, manipulating and and spy
out solution called OmniCleaner that
- easily handles the amount of traffic a typical provider has to
deal withcc
- can be controlled by a centralized agency, for example a
possible future German Ministry of Internet Censorship
- offers all the nasty features a police state would like to
have in a comfortable interface that gives people with no
Internet experience (like the typical politician) the
possibility to control all net traffic
- can also keep under surveillance encrypted websites
| |
- is able to forward arbitrary emails over a secure connection
to a centralized agency
- offers the possibility to change the content of every
affected web page: partly or complete
Our machine has two Ethernet plugs: In one you put the cable with the
complete, free, filthy and revolting Internet. From the other plug you
receive a clean, child-safe, legal net that is an ideal surrounding for
e-Commerce -- undisturbed from these annoying people that want to do
something else than buying your products.
So, purchase OmniCleaner and finally live in a beautiful world. (Purchase
price negotiable.)
