Main Page
The Telecomix Blue Cabinet is a working wiki project to document vendors and manufacturers of surveillance equipment that are used in dictatorships and democracies around the internets. The project came into being after Telecomix became aware of, and published, that Blue Coat Systems surveillance technology (IP filtering) was being used by the Syrian government under the dictatorship of Assad. These "Blue Coat logs" can be viewed at Project Bluesmote.
The Blue Cabinet Wiki contains only public information. This means that anyone may add truthful data with sources i.e. urls to where you found it online.
The purpose of the Blue cabinet Wiki Project is to create an overview and to share resources between Telecomix and other projects out there that have the same goal as us; to identify and expose those who profit from selling surveillance technologies that enable the invasion of privacy, targeted intimidation, harassment and that assist governments to identify and locate citizens they consider dissidents, often leading to detainment, torture and even death. The Blue Cabinet is an information sharing system, aiming for a better future internet.
