US builds website to give Europeans access to content banned by their governments

The United States has built a website that will allow people in Europe to see content banned by their governments, including hate speech and terrorist propaganda, Euronews writes, referring to Reuters.

Freedom.gov was reportedly developed by the US State Department.

The site displays the motto “Information is power. Reclaim your human right to free expression. Get ready,” with a graphic of a galloping white horse above the Earth.

The portal has not been officially deployed and was supposed to be launched last week at the Munich Security Conference.

Reuters has been unable to determine why the site is not yet accessible. However, according to two sources, some State Department officials, including legal advisors, have raised concerns about the project. Reports suggest it could further strain ties between the Trump administration and the US’s traditional European allies, which have already been under pressure due to trade disputes, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and Trump’s intentions to assert control over Greenland.
