A battle we can’t afford to lose

An internet to benefit everyone

The most powerful force for change in the world today, the most powerful tool for building or destroying economies, for conducting business or making one extinct, for delivering education,  for waging war or for promoting  terror, for toppling governments - as well as mounting unprecedented  surveillance on  individuals - is the internet.

It is a neutral force with the kind of universal reach no human concept has had before. It surpasses by a considerable margin the empowering impact printing had on our world when it was invented many centuries ago. It would be witless to assume that we can even imagine how it  will constantly change our world.
