Published purpose
The project will help to prevent the misuse of emerging technologies and internet-facilitated trends which threaten democracies and prevent the meaningful and inclusive participation of all individuals in public discourse and decision-making. The project will target: the increased use of internet shutdowns and mass communication blackouts which stifle free expression; the enactment of rights-respecting legislation and policy frameworks on content governance; and greater protections against the misuse and abuse of personal data by public and private sector interests.
