WASHINGTON: Psiphon Inc’s freely available Internet censorship circumvention tool has about helped nearly 1.4 million Cubans this week gain access to websites, the company said on Friday, after Cuba’s government curbed access to popular social media and messaging platforms.

The Toronto-based company’s Psiphon Network receives US government financial support and also helped people in other countries including Iran and China overcome governmental restrictions on Internet access.
