The Internet was created for sharing and connecting, not for censorship or surveillance.
If Big Telecom providers control the Internet, they’ll slow down your favourite web services, raise prices, and even censor content or entire platforms. This is not fiction. They’re actively lobbying for legislation that will give them these powers.
On the other hand, governments are using the Internet to spy on you. Security agencies across the world are turning the greatest tool for connectivity that mankind has ever invented into a tool to spy on the private lives of everybody.
At OpenMedia, we make it simple for you to learn about the issues and amplify your voice for change. We’ve built a community of people who care about the Internet and share their ideas, and we’ve designed tools to help you spread the word and take action.
We’re up against powerful opponents, but we’ve also fought and won successful online campaigns to keep the Internet open — so we know what works.
The Internet won’t save itself. It needs people like you to save it—to keep it free, open, and democratic.
