This is a year old, but it’s still very, very cool.
The campaign is called “Irrepressible.info – an effort by Amnesty International to draw attention to the way too many governments are censoring the Internet, and punishing those who use it to speak out.
They’ve created a web badge for your site. Nothing especially new, although you’d be amazed how few online campaigns do that.
They’ve made that badge dynamic, drawing content from a database of repressed material (and thus reproducing it on thousands of sites worldwide). Okay, that got my attention.
They’ve created an API, allowing queries in multiple languages, and invited developers to build their own apps powered by the database. Now, that’s cool.
