“Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.” – Famous whistleblower
“Nobody needs to justify why they ‘need’ a right. The burden of justification falls on the one seeking to infringe upon the right.”
“The majority cannot vote away the natural rights of the minority.”
We believe that privacy is a basic human right; individuals should be in control of their own intellectual property, data, information, as well as how it may be used. We take a stand against corporations and any entities that use individual data for purposes contrary to human rights. As such, we will update below some introductory information links to help our readers to take precautions.
