The Internet is a great force for good. It creates virtually infinite opportunities for everyone who uses it. Yet, governments and businesses across the world are increasingly making risky decisions that have the potential to adversely impact the open, global Internet—and they may not even realize it.
Our vision is for an Internet that is more global in the future, not less. Where more people have access to this vital resource regardless of their geography. To achieve this, we urgently need to protect and defend the Internet from splintering into isolated networks that may not be able to connect or interoperate with one another efficiently. We defend the Internet against the most pressing threats that could disrupt the fundamental properties the Internet needs to exist and thrive.
The Internet is for everyone. It is the people’s medium.
Policies and decisions that threaten to fragment the Internet must be resisted. The Internet is ours.
We strengthen the Internet by:
Internet fragmentation affects all of us. Learn the different ways it’s breaking the Internet.
Access a practical tool that helps us assess whether a policy or decision could impact the Internet.
