The U.S. State Department is developing an online portal that will enable people in Europe and elsewhere to see content banned by their governments including alleged hate speech and terrorist propaganda, a move Washington views as a way to counter censorship, three sources familiar with the plan said.
The site will be hosted at “freedom.gov,” the sources said. One source said officials had discussed including a virtual private network function to make a user’s traffic appear to originate in the U.S. and added that user activity on the site will not be tracked.

Press X to doubt.
The sort of freedom where the gestapo kick down your door?
And the freedom to view Nazi sites and say things that promote Nazism.
Because as the various industries constantly trying to block streaming/torrent sites have taught us the Internet is static, people aren’t resourceful, and data can be controlled with ease.
Plus advertising a specific domain is surely not going to have that blocked straight away. Cute idea by incompetent people.
They gonna give us access to pornhub on a freedom.gov site?! Because that would be hilarious!
Please tell me there is way to block this.
Whilst there are methods to get around region-blocking and various restrictions, I seriously doubt that the people behind “freedom.gov” will have the technical expertise to actually do this in a meaningful way… I expect the rest of the world won’t take long to block it.
