As part of Operation Collateral Freedom, Reporters Without Borders is mirroring the likes of The Tibet Post International which is blocked in China, and Gooya News which is blocked in Iran. Mirrored sites are hosted on Amazon, Microsoft and Google servers which are unlikely to be blocked by a censoring country.

While it would still be possible to block access to the mirrored sites, the fact that they are hosted on such popular servers means that there would be massive knock-on effects for other much-used services. Encryption is also in use to help prevent the risk of blocking by keyword.

Reporters Without Borders is waging war on the "Enemies of the Internet" which includes Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, China, Cuba, Iran, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. The full list of sites that make up Operation Collateral Freedom are:

   Grani.ru, blocked in Russia

   Fergananews.com blocked in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan

   The Tibet Post, blocked in China

   Dan Lam Bao, blocked in Vietnam

   Mingjing News, blocked in China

   Hablemos Press, blocked in Cuba

   Gooya News, blocked in Iran

   Gulf Centre for Human Rights, blocked in United Arab Emirates

   Bahrain Mirror, blocked in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia
