The Fight for Free Speech & Privacy Runs on People Like You
We answer to the people we serve, not to Big Tech or the gatekeepers we report on. Your support is what keeps us independent, and right now it’s what keeps the fight going and reaches more people before it’s too late.
This Is What Your Support Is Up Against
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 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 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.
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.
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 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.
