USAGM Funds Two Internet Freedom Projects

Michelle Quinn

   The U.S. Agency for Global Media announced Tuesday that it is moving
   forward with funding two internet firewall circumvention projects
   despite an ongoing legal battle over the agency's broader internet
   freedom strategy.

   The awardees -- Psiphon and ACI -- write software that help people gain
   access to websites and information blocked by their governments.

   "Our agency is determined to expand freedom of expression by continuing
   to explore, develop, and fund the most secure and effective internet
   freedom tools," [1]USAGM CEO Michael Pack said in a statement.
