In the footsteps of Aaron Swartz
Swartzshield is an immersive interactive experience in development. It will take you into the world of hacking, privacy and corruption. The concept combines fiction, non-fiction and user participation in a transmedia adventure for Internet freedom.
Triggered by the suicide of Aaron Swartz and inspired by his ideology, we dig deeper into the importance of copyright reform, information access, and Internet freedom. The story of Swartzshield affects all of us. Support our cause.

Let's fix the Internet
This event is part of our Let's fix the Internet program. How public can the Internet still be called nowadays? What is its current state? What did 20 years of technology bring us? Throughout this year, we are hosting and organizing events to get answers to these questions, to take action were we can and to raise awareness about issues concerning the Internet and privacy.
