I was just reading about gumbo parser yesterday! h/t @nostrademons Very nice hack... its just fun to do something like this. Reminds me when I used to fiddle w/ "phreaking" when it was really easy. I didn't think about ethical implications - just got a really big thrill when I got a free call.
I've been wondering if something like this could be helpful to breach the great firewall. Find some high traffic site in China and smuggle in content via various site features such as chat, messaging, forums, etc. The content could be obfuscated to appear benign while embedding hidden data in text, images, or binary attachments.

I don't know the specifics about how the surveilance is implemented, but embedding encrypted payload in benign files is a neat idea to bypass internet censorship, at least in principle.

With a built-in encryption layer (on top of eventual HTTPS) it could be a useful "hack" for the kinds of situations mentioned in the readme. I wonder how facebook and the telecos will feel about this. All in all, a cool concept but unlikely to work in practice if either facebook or the telecos do not want to.

It would be cool if a company such as facebook supported this. Seeing them as an enabler for free/uncensored internet, given that the country was chosen for a internet.org campaign.
