Together with our global community we extend the Internet’s reach and protect its long-term well-being.
Safeguarding the Internet
In a year of upheaval, the Internet connected us to reliable information, social connection, and opportunity.
Find out how we addressed threats and connected underserved populations, so that it could remain a vital resource for everyone.
Encryption Keeps Kids Safe Online
Policymakers are proposing laws that will weaken encryption.
The EARN IT Act, STOP CSAM Act, and many other proposed bills are threatening encryption in the name of keeping kids safe, but by weakening encryption, they’re doing the opposite.

The Internet Society offered me a transformative journey of education, networking, and empowerment in the Internet and technology governance sphere. This short-term journey has shaped my entire career. I’ve gone from being a researcher on Internet governance and digital rights issues to a lifelong global activist for Internet Inclusion, digital literacy, and bridging the digital divide.
We work together to ensure the Internet thrives and everyone can benefit from it.
