| <p>Censorpedia aids the fight for free expression by providing a repository of censorship incidents, information about what is vulnerable to censorship, and a guide to strategies and tactics that have defeated past attempts at censorship.
| |
| It hosts articles documenting censorship outbreaks: the who, what, when, where and why.</p>
| |
| <p>Censorpedia builds on the 1994 art project/internet censorship archive The File Room. Initiated by Muntadas, The File Room was originally produced by Chicago’s Randolph Street Gallery with the support of the School of Art and Design and the Electronic Visualization Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Since 2001 The File Room has been hosted and maintained by the [http://www.ncac.org National Coalition Against Censorship.] </p>
