Why security, privacy and liberty matter.

On the 5th of July 2012, the United Nations passed its first resolution on human rights online. 71 countries made it clear that people’s right to free speech and privacy should apply on the internet too.

Unfortunately, many of the countries that signed the resolution do not respect human rights online. They spy on their citizens and block certain content.

The 5th of July Foundation is here to protect human rights online, in accordance with the UN resolution. Based in Sweden, the foundation gives internet users around the globe concrete tools to increase their security, privacy and liberty.
