2025 was one of the most difficult years for press freedom in the U.S. Journalists faced escalating harassment, censorship, legal threats, and violence — and FPF was there to support them.

Excellent interview @taylorlorenz.bsky.social. VPNs are our last line of defense against internet censorship. It was only a matter of time before the censors come after us.
