ransomnote: Heard about the website under construction at Freedom.gov? I checked it out and put my findings in post #1. It looks legitimate.

NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT WHAT THE STATE DEPARTMENT JUST DIDThey are building a government website, (freedom dot gov), that will let people in europe access content their own governments have banned.
Anything restricted under EU law.
The site may include a built-in VPN that makes your traffic look like it’s coming from the U.S.
They say they won’t track user activity.
For context, the EU just fined X €120 million for not complying with its content rules.
Germany alone forced the removal of over 16,000 pieces of content in 2024.
Now the U.S. government is building a portal to make all of that accessible again.
A former state department official called it “a direct shot” at european laws.
The domain was registered January 12. The site currently shows a login page with the words “fly, eagle, fly.”
The next 12 months of U.S.-Europe relations are going to be WILD.
Let’s see what happens. I’ll keep you updated.
On another note, I’ve been digging through insider filings for 12+ hours, and tomorrow is the day.
I’ll release everything I found. Turn on notifications so you don’t miss anything.
You’ll wish you followed sooner.

I asked Grok about the purpose of Freedom.gov and have placed the response below.
Freedom.gov Website Purpose
Freedom.gov is a U.S. government portal.
It promotes global free expression.
It helps users bypass censorship.
Focus is on Europe and elsewhere.
Users access banned content there.
This includes hate speech material.
It also covers terrorist propaganda.
Key Features Planned
- VPN-like routing function.
- Traffic appears from U.S.
- No user activity tracking.
Current Status
Site is a simple landing page.
It shows "Freedom Is Coming".
Message: "Information is power."
Further: "Reclaim your human right to free expression."
Last phrase: "Get ready."
Launch was delayed recently.
Expected at Munich Conference.
Administration Details
Linked to State Department.
Undersecretary Sarah Rogers leads it.
Domain run by CISA agency.
CISA is under Homeland Security.
Broader Context
Aims to counter global censorship.
May strain ties with Europe.
Europe has strict content laws.
U.S. views it as digital freedom.
Distinct from foia.gov site.
Report based on Reuters and others.
Date: February 19, 2026.
Is there a site for Americans to see what US media refuses to show?
That’s fine but don’t forget that the Euros will send a hit squad if they feel they need to. Just like they did with the no nukes loons.
Is there a site for Americans to see what US media refuses to show?
What’s to stop the Euroweenies from blocking this site as well?
They're not government employees; they're contractors, and they're very likely not hosted in the country that's censoring the the content.
Government A has no claim to block content when it's actually being blocked from Country B. Country B is violating rights when blocking content in Country A.
They're going to find Google in particular is blocking content from the U.S., violating the First Amendment. They already did it for the government of Communist China. Let the lawsuits fly.
