  Since Putin introduced his draconian law that censors social media, I've been writing and advocating for 🇺🇸 support for VPN in Russia to bypass 🇷🇺 censorship. God bless America. Next step: provide more info on Tor (many ppl still don't know about it there) https://www.reuters.com…

  U.S. targets Russia with tech to evade censorship of Ukraine news...I recall the vital role “Radio Free Europe” played in the latter half of the 20 century. Misinformation & propaganda now require an upgrade in service to reach those populations w/no access https://www.reuters.co…

  I support my government financing access to the open web for people who live under censorship regimes around the world. Financing access to open money would be good too. https://twitter.com/...

  I love it. The U.S. government has pushed new, increased funding into three technology companies since the start of the Ukraine conflict to help Russians sidestep censors and access Western media, according to five people familiar with the situation. https://www.reuters.com/...
