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.

You cant make this shit up. Are we watching South Park in real life?

What's to keep that site from being blocked? What's different from any other free VPN? Who really believes there won't be tracking, or that it will allow access to anything the control freaks in Washington consider "left wing?"
