For the 15th consecutive year, Freedom House’s 2025 report warns of a decline in internet freedoms. The use of increasingly advanced digital surveillance techniques and the weakening of legal protections in the name of counterterrorism undermine the ability of journalists and human rights defenders to fulfill their mission of informing the public.
In response to these challenges, we have created Tech4Society: a free platform offering secure services to journalists, activists, and advocates to better protect their work.
Journalists and human rights defenders can contact our experts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We provide an initial response within 8 hours.
