Google unveils "uProxy" on Monday to support freedom of expression by bypassing government surveillance, Reuters reports.
The Internet giant unveiled during a presentation in New York "uProxy," a new technology that permits Internet users to express what they want to in the Web while bypassing surveillance software and government censorship.
In the meantime, this new technology will be available for Google Chrome browser and Firefox users, but not for its competitor Internet Explorer.
The leading search engine also offered a new map that highlights synchronized cyber attacks happening around the world.
Google, known for its corporate motto "Don't Be Evil," is ingrained for defying authorities globally and working hard in seeking to safeguard its Web properties, including Blogger and YouTube.
However, the creation of Google Ideas in 2010 -- a think-tank led by Director Jared Cohen, an Adjunct Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and advisor of Hilary Clinton -- has raised the likelihood of Google being actively involved in promoting policies of United States.
Under its "Project Shield," the company said it would host politically motivated sites that are recurrently cyberattacked. However, due to the volume and complexity of its technical infrastructure, Google is far more able to bear up such cyber attacks in contrast to independently hosted websites hosted.
The new software is still on its testing stage.
To prove the software's worth, Google made a promotional clip featuring an endorsement from a popular Persian-language news website, Balatarin, which has already tested the digital shield program.
The Google-funded "uProxy" software, developed by the University of Washington and nonprofit group Brave New Software, will let users from censored countries to see the Web content seen by a user in a different, uncensored country.
The "uProxy" software is designed to create an encrypted connection between two users that looks like a virtual private network – a scheme used by Chinese web users to get around the China government's Great Firewall that blocks many social media sites.
