Certain countries are banning their Internet users from accessing websites that are deemed inappropriate by their officials. News organizations' websites are commonly blocked by these countries, and there are little these organizations can do to reach their audience inside those countries. FOE is a new anti-censorship tool developed in-house by the Broadcasting Board of Governors (which oversees Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, Radio Farda, Radio Free Asia, etc.), which main goal is to create a multi-platform (including mobile) architecture that allow Internet users in censored countries to receive unbiased news.
