Advancing Human Freedom through Technology
Research and education that empowers individuals.
Our connected, digital world has revolutionized the way we communicate and access information, offering unprecedented opportunities for growth and connection. Yet, it has also become the most powerful enabler of totalitarian surveillance the world has ever known.
While technology is inherently neutral, the past decade has seen it increasingly exploited to erode privacy and autonomy. At our institute, we champion the transformative potential of technology and are dedicated to ensuring it empowers individuals rather than subjects them to surveillance.
We uphold the fundamental human right to navigate the digital world free from the oppressive gaze of constant monitoring. Through rigorous research, impactful education, and strategic advocacy, we strive to create a future where privacy and technological innovation stand together as pillars of freedom and autonomy.
Our mission is to equip individuals with the tools and knowledge to harness the empowering potential of modern innovation, and ensure that privacy, individual autonomy, and human dignity extend to the digital landscape.
Privacy Research
As we dive into the modern world, let’s not just explore innovation — Let’s explore how we can protect the freedom that made this innovation possible. We research and test the latest tools to learn how to best help create a more private, safe internet for all.
As we enjoy technology that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible, we can also uphold the fundamental right to privacy for billions of people across the globe.
Educational Videos
We create educational videos that teach people about new technologies that can help them protect the private spaces of their digital lives. We make tutorials, explainers, and interview top experts in the privacy space to give people the resources they need to feel empowered in their digital lives. We publish these videos on our channel “NBTV”, which has over a million subscribers across platforms and tens of millions of views.
Community Support
We harness the experts in our community as a resource from which everyone can learn. By creating communal spaces, we allow people to crowdsource information, and take the knowledge they get from our educational material to the next level.
