US to unveil platform aiming to bypass internet censorship in China, Iran and beyond

FIRST ON FOX: The State Department has finalized a new privacy-preserving app intended to give users worldwide access to what officials describe as the same uncensored internet available to Americans, even in countries with strict online repression such as China and Iran and as Europe enacts tighter content oversight. 

The platform, Freedom.gov, will roll out "in the coming weeks," Fox News Digital has learned. 

It will operate as a one-click desktop and mobile application compatible with iOS and Android devices.
