Last but not least: The USA in the fight against internet censorship

In order to restrict freedom of expression and the flow of information online, many countries have increased their spending, he said on Tuesday according to the speech text. In contrast, the American government is supporting the development of tools to circumvent internet blocks and ensure secure connections between users.

The Supreme Court has granted freedom of expression on the internet the greatest possible protection under the constitution. This is because freedom of speech is particularly important in the USA, even in comparison to other democratic countries. Freedom of speech is so highly valued that, unlike in many European countries, denying the Holocaust is not a punishable offense. Or that US soldiers are now allowed to use Facebook and Twitter on service computers. However, the US anti-Internet censorship campaign also knows one limit: sites with pornographic content or games are to be blocked.
