1/ Some of our German-speaking readers will know this… Today, like every first Sunday of the month, we celebrate Digital Independence Day!

EDRi supports this monthly celebration in the liberation of digital lives from #BigTech. We look forward to sharing practical tips & support people and communities who build apps & tools that respect people, #democracy, and the planet.
