Circumvention

Circumvention refers to the act of bypassing restrictions or controls, often found online. For example, if a website is blocked in a certain country, users might use tools like VPNs or proxy servers to access it by disguising their location. Similarly, individuals or organizations may try to avoid regulations, censorship, or security measures to maintain privacy or access information. While circumvention can be used for legitimate purposes like free expression, it can also be exploited for illegal activities. Overall, it involves finding ways to navigate around barriers put in place to control or limit access.
