Your support helps us push back against digital ID, censorship, and surveillance

Digital IDs

Digital IDs Are Building a Checkpoint Society

Governments are pushing centralized digital ID systems that link your identity to everything you do online and offline, creating a checkpoint society where access, movement, and speech can be monitored and controlled.

Child Safety

Child Safety Is Being Used to Justify Digital IDs

Governments are exploiting child safety concerns to mandate age and digital ID verification just to get online, eroding anonymity, chilling free speech, and creating a powerful new infrastructure for mass surveillance.

Online Safety Laws

“Online Safety” Laws Are Silencing Speech

Governments are passing broad censorship laws under the banner of safety and harm prevention, pressuring platforms to remove lawful speech and restrict what people can say online.

Data Collection

Your Data Is Being Collected and Sold

Every click, message, and location is tracked, leaked, and traded. Data brokers build secret profiles on millions of people, turning our digital lives into a system of constant surveillance.

Encryption

Governments Are Trying to End Encrypted Messaging

By calling for bans on encrypted messaging or requiring every message to be scanned, governments are pushing policies that would effectively destroy end-to-end encryption and eliminate private communication.

Internet Shutdowns

Internet Shutdowns Silence Everyone

Governments can cut off internet access at will, shutting down communication for entire countries and communities, blocking news, halting organizing, and leaving millions unable to speak.

What Your Support Makes Possible

We’re at a pivotal moment. Digital IDs, encryption bans, and censorship laws are moving fast. Every membership funds the work that pushes back and helps us reach more people before these systems lock in.

Expose What They’d Rather Bury

Your support funds investigations into censorship and surveillance that other outlets will not touch. The work answers to the people who back it.

Reach More People Before It’s Too Late

Every contribution helps us put this work in front of more people while there’s still time to push back on these laws.

Stand With the Censored

You help us amplify the silenced and the deplatformed, and challenge the gatekeepers trying to erase them.

Keep the Truth Independent

You keep this work beholden to no one but the people who believe in it, the only way this scrutiny of Big Tech stays honest.

Defend the Open Web

You fund the fight against digital IDs, encryption bans, and the surveillance infrastructure being built right now.

Back the Builders

You help us spotlight the people creating privacy-first, censorship-resistant alternatives to Big Tech.

Members also get full access to everything we publish, our privacy and security guides, and up to 50% off merch.

Reclaim The Net is kept going by people who want an internet they can use without asking permission and without being identified at the door.

Speech online now runs through a handful of companies and the governments leaning on them. What gets said, what gets seen, and who gets to stay is settled in places the public never sees.

We cover the people who lose access, and the people building the way around it. That means naming who is behind a takedown and following the law that made it possible.

This work exists because we think it should exist. Members keep it that way, and keep it answerable to the people who believe in it.
