Telecomix is a decentralized cluster of net activists, committed to the freedom of expression and is a name used by both WeRebuild and Telecomix. WeRebuild is a collaborative project used to propose and discuss laws as well as to collect information about politics and politicians. The Telecomix is the operative body that executes schemes and proposals presented by the WeRebuild.[1][2] On September 15, 2011, Telecomix diverted all connections to the Syrian web, and redirected internauts to a page with instructions to bypass censorship.[3]
Moreover, "Telecomix circulated the ways of using landlines to circumvent state blockages of broadband networks"[4] during the Egyptian Revolution of 2011. Also in 2011, Telecomix had a large release of Blue Coat surveillance log files, allegedly revealing vast interception in Syria, which was analyzed and made public from the "telecommunist cluster" of Telecomix.[5] The leak had previously[when?] been criticized for possibly revealing too much sensitive information about Syrian users by security researcher and hacker Jacob Appelbaum.[6]
