Amnesty Int.'l Releases API to Access Censored Files

Nick Farrell writes on The Inquirer:

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL is set to release an API to its data base of politically-censored material from to enable people to develop software to get the information into their own sites and blogs.

The irrepressible.info campaign, launched in May, provides javascript banners featuring censored sites and content. The API will give direct access to the irrepressible.info site’s database of censored material so that supporters can create their own applications to distribute the information better.

Amnesty hopes that someone will come up with ways making irrepressible.info accessible to social networking sites like MySpace and Bebo, who can't use the Javascript based banner system irrepressible.info runs now.
