A Google Team called Jigsaw has created a new software developer kit (SDK) that they allege will enable groups of people to create censorship-free digital networks they can use to communicate with each other even in the face of government oppression.
The tool was created in response to the crackdown on protestors and protest organizations by Iran. The fact that the tool was designed by a team working for a company who pushes the DNC-CCP narrative and oppresses users who too impactfully contradict that narrative is a bit of actual irony, but we liberty-lovers will take it and apply it in ways this team probably would never imagine, or support.
The tool itself, while designed to help a preferred oppressed group of people (Iranians wanting to live their own stewarded lives), can help an oppressed group of people Google has clearly demonstrated is not one of their preferred ones, the American people, those of us that also wish to live self-stewarded lives, not lives defined by and for the party, the DNC-CCP.
Jigsaw tweeted, “In times of crisis, internet connectivity is a lifeline, but authoritarian regimes are sophisticated at blocking access. That’s why VPNs are vital to keep people online when they need it most.”
They offered an explanation of what they’ve actually created, “Our team created this toolkit [Outline SDK] for developers. It empowers them to embed circumvention tech directly into their apps. Outline SDK simplifies the process, allowing apps to continue delivering crucial content even when faced with censorship, all without the need for a VPN.”
It would be much better if toolkits like this were developed by open-source liberty groups as opposed to Google, whose founding mantra, “don’t be evil” was long abandoned even before the creation of the parent corporation, Alphabet, who holds more allegiance with Karl Marx than it does Thomas Jefferson, who embraces evil in the name of ending evil, like all “good” leftists do.
