Summary
The Global Internet Freedom Act (H.R. 4741) would establish a dedicated Office of Global Internet Freedom within the International Broadcasting Bureau to combat online censorship by foreign governments. This office would be responsible for developing technologies and strategies to bypass government-sponsored internet "jamming" and protect foreign citizens from being persecuted for their online activities. For the public, this bill represents a formal U.S. commitment to promoting global information access by actively countering the efforts of repressive regimes to restrict or monitor the internet.
