Internet Freedom Act: Supporting Global Access to Information
This act aims to support free internet access in countries where governments restrict information flow. It means the United States will fund programs and technologies to help people bypass censorship, ensuring their access to news and communication, which can impact their ability to express opinions freely and access knowledge.
Key points
Financial support for programs promoting internet freedom and tools to bypass censorship in countries with restricted access.
Expedited funding for restoring internet access in cases of sudden government shutdowns in foreign countries.
Requirement for reporting on the effectiveness and needs of internet freedom support programs, increasing transparency.
