// mirror links for censored websites

Daily, millions of people trying to open censored websites see a similar message:

This resource makes the government look bad. Blocked for your protection.

- Your Caring Censorship Agency

‹polymorphic› is an automated tool that unblocks censored websites and keeps them accessible.

Massive funding supports independent journalism and human-rights organizations (and rightfully so!). Much of this work, though, never reaches those it's meant to help, since two-thirds of all people online cannot freely access information that criticizes their governments. Information censorship is a creeping threat everywhere, not just in "distant dictatorships".

Investigations on state violence and corruption get blocked. Anti-war groups that help deserters escape the battlefield lose their platforms. Legal organizations defending political prisoners can't reach the most vulnerable communities. Eco-activists documenting climate crimes get silenced. Grassroots LGBTQIA+ organizations supporting those who flee repressions lose access to their audiences. Documentation of police abuse disappears from view. But a lot of censorship-circumvention tools fail to be useful because they put the burden on users.

Solutions that don't require any action from end-users are inherently more effective than client-side tools.

Since those only help the minority who understand complicated technical configurations and can keep up with the rapidly advancing censorship circumvention methods.

When publishers add ‹polymorphic› to their toolkit, they generate a mirror link for any page on their site. From there the link runs itself: the moment it's blocked, it spins up a fresh version of itself within 10 minutes so that anyone can access these resources by just clicking on it.
