Mission & Interests
Goals: We believe in an open and just society. One in which people can hold power accountable and effectively question the status quo. For two decades it has been our mission to shape internet policy in support of this vision. We do this through advocacy, campaigning and litigation, in the Netherlands and Brussels.
We are a Dutch foundation ("stichting") with currently 13 staff members, hundreds of volunteers, a board and an advisory council. We are supported by thousands of individual donors, companies and private foundations. To ensure our independence, we do not accept money from governments.
