New description:

 ​Activities under this objective aim to improve aspects of bridge
 distribution and selection methods. We seek to automate bridge
 distribution for our users as much as possible, but some distribution
 mechanisms require minimal user interaction, like solving CAPTCHAs. One
 example of an active distribution mechanism that is as automated as
 possible is “moat,” which is already integrated into Tor Browser. The fact
 that this distribution method is integrated into Tor Browser minimizes the
 number of hoops our users have to jump through. When possible, we hope to
 integrate distribution methods developed in this project into Tor Browser,
 minimizing the impact on the user. With special focus on human rights
 defenders in the Global South, we will increase access to Tor bridges and
 expand the network.
