5th of July Foundation

Save the internet!

We are the 5th of July Foundation and we have come to save the internet.

Our tools provide security, privacy and liberty to the people of the world, giving them the power to take back the internet from spying governments.

Remember, remember, the 5th of July

On 5th of July, 2012, the UN Human Rights Council adopted the First Resolution on Internet Free Speech.

This resolution on “the Promotion, Protection, and Enjoyment of Human Rights on the Internet” stated that “the same rights that people have offline must also be protected online”.

We couldn’t agree more.

But among the 71 nations that signed the resolution, several are repressing free speech and spying on their citizens, thereby violating the very human rights that they officially “promote and protect”.

The 5th of July Foundation was founded to hold governments accountable for the beautiful words in the resolution they signed, and to provide concrete tools that help internet users enhance their security, privacy and liberty.

Politicians talk. We act.

We provide tools for internet security, privacy and liberty

We continuously sponsor dissidents and activists around the world with free VPN accounts, to let them circumvent government censorship and surveillence. We do not reveal in detail which institutions we have sponsored in this way.
