Countering Internet Threats – Internet Society

We all want solutions that promote safer experiences online. But, too often, governments try to ‘fix’ these problems in ways that erode people’s access to the Internet. If we don’t help them understand how to find solutions that protect the Internet, we may soon not have one to protect at all.
The Internet needs an advocate. We are uniquely positioned to mobilize members, partners, and other supporters to raise our voices to protect the Internet.
The Internet is for everyone. It is the people’s medium. We must stop bad policies and help governments make decisions that safeguard the Internet we know and love. The Internet is ours, let’s keep it that way.
To defend the Internet, we will focus on:
Internet fragmentation affects all of us. Learn the different ways it’s breaking the Internet.
Use a practical tool that helps assess whether a policy or decision could impact the Internet.
See a policy or decision that could impact the open, global Internet? Let us know.
Your donation will help us continue our work to defend the Internet.
