Parts disturbing article:
The US has built a portal that will allow Europeans to view blocked content including alleged hate speech and terrorism, according to Reuters.……. While freedom.gov is ostensibly also an “internet freedom” project, it does not propose to preserve privacy – instead, it appears to funnel users into an opaque, central system controlled by a US government agency.
“What you’re now talking about is concentrating traffic through a US federal agency organised and kept closed – as opposed to multiple internet freedom, open-source, privacy-preserving projects,” said Andrew Ford Lyons, an independent consultant on digital security and media resilience, who worked on previous US internet freedom projects.
The “censorships” that the site purports to counter are not internet shutdowns or broad restrictions on content such as those in place in China and Iran, but European restrictions on hate speech and illegal content such as those in the Digital Services Act, or the UK’s Online Safety Act.

Will it allow full access to the Epstein files?

1. The way this site is designed makes it way to easy to abuse for propaganda purposes. Ew, no way.
2. There is nothing stopping European countries from just blocking access to the site considering the site does not comply with European (EU, UK, etc) law.
I would much rather tunnel my traffic through something more trusted or through a self-created VPN.

Interesting times. Tactics used by Americans to destabilize China are now being used on its European allies.

Will it allow Texans to view blocked content? Asking for a friend.

The USA routinely crows about censoring billions of links from the internet in the name of holy copyright monopoly. Will the USA fight against free-market-defeating copyright and patent monopolies?

Yes how could this go wrong.

Can’t wait to post on Truth Social after I see the latest US government approved alternative news on [freedom.gov](http://freedom.gov) about how well the Board of Peace is doing after the Department of War carried out its latest Special Military Operation
They’re just taking the piss at this point

An i2p website or Tor hidden site would be effective since censors would have to block the whole network and constantly add new ips to the list like China does. They won’t do that though because this is likely just a way to grift money from taxpayers while virtue signaling how pro „free-speech“ the Republicans are when they are the opposite of that for anything that isn’t explicitly Christian nationalism.

A vpn, starlink, an all present ai overlord, what’s next. So something better? must be really good.

Alas, there is no way for anyone to access the self-censored news that has been suppressed by America’s oligarch-run media. Occasionally there are slips, like Colbert putting his political candidate interview on YouTube this week because CBS censored it – but that’s a great example that America’s self-censored media is ramping up so much in the Trump regime era.

Now build one for the U.S. so Americans can see all our blocked content.

How much of it will be redacted?

So it will be a full archive of all DMCA strikes with full content, all posts and comments removed by social media lizard overlords, and pirate transmissions of Spanish and Italian football league?
Or just an archive of racist hate speech, CSAM and crude US/Russian propaganda?

US propaganda is quite desperate.
