Working with the University of California-Berkeley’s Anti-Censorship Lab and Incubator, the project is focused on (1) researching and developing user-friendly, high-performance and secure circumvention tools; (2) exploring new circumvention directions; (3) experimenting with innovative technical solutions to distribute tools and censored contents back to users in hostile Internet environments; and (4) conducting outreach and collaboration with other Internet freedom community projects to expand adoption of circumvention technologies.
