Internet Access in Crisis and Combating Censorship
This act aims to ensure internet access in the US during emergencies and support tools to bypass internet censorship abroad. This means the US government will be able to restore connectivity in domestic emergencies and support freedom of speech in countries with repressive regimes.
Key points
The US government will maintain the ability to provide internet access domestically in case of network disruptions, which can help citizens stay connected during crises.
The US government will support technologies that allow bypassing internet censorship in countries where governments restrict access to information, potentially helping people in those countries access free media.
In cases of increased demand for censorship circumvention tools, the government will be able to quickly provide funding to companies that supply them.
