European Digital Rights

European Digital Rights

s from seven countries.

Currently 25 privacy and civil rights organisations from 17 different countries in Europe have EDRI membership. Members of European Digital Rights have joined forces to defend civil rights in the information society. The need for cooperation among European organizations is increasing as more regulation regarding the internet, copyright and privacy is originating from the European Union.

EDRi is financed by membership fees and donations from the general public. EDRi has a focus on privacy, security, copyright, governance and freedom of speech.

Its founding board members were Maurice Wesseling from Bits of Freedom, Andy Müller-Maguhn from the Chaos Computer Club and Meryem Marzouki from Imaginons un réseau Internet solidaire.
