This database collects more than 330 organizations and programs driving online content controls in Germany. It includes NGOs, academic centers, foundations, think tanks, businesses and government agencies, and was released in tandem with our November 2025 report The Censorship Network: Regulation and Repression in Germany Today. A companion database of more than 400 content controls grants can be found here.

Please read our project overview and methodology pages for further details of how we approached building the database and related infographics. If you spot any errors or organizations we may have missed, please contact us.
