Free speech, privacy,
and democratic debate
are under threat.
Under the banner of countering misinformation, hate speech, and harm, governments, civil society organisations, academics, and technology companies are increasingly shaping what people can say, see, and share online. Age-gating technologies designed to protect children are failing, and putting the privacy of adults at risk.
Many who once defended digital rights and a “free and open Internet” now work to implement these new solutions. Civil society should be a check on both Big Tech and government. Yet NGOs and academia now collaborate with them to promote top-down information and digital controls.
liber-net works to restore free speech, privacy, and civil liberties as foundational principles for the networked age. Through investigative journalism, research, media-making, and events, we create dialogue and alliances that change the conversation.
