The internet has become a vital space for expression, commerce, and community building in Nigeria. Yet, as our digital lives expand, so do the threats to our fundamental rights. From data privacy concerns to the looming shadows of internet shutdowns, the battle for digital rights is more critical than ever.
Privacy in the Age of Big Data
With the passage of the Nigeria Data Protection Act, we have taken a significant step toward safeguarding citizen information. However, implementation remains a challenge. Citizens are often unaware of their rights to control their personal data, and many public and private institutions still lack robust data protection frameworks.
Protecting the Civic Space Online
Online platforms have become the new town squares where young Nigerians organize and voice their grievances. Protecting this space from arbitrary censorship is paramount for a healthy democracy. Our Digital Rights program focuses on policy advocacy that ensures internet governance remains inclusive and human-rights-centric.
We believe that digital inclusion is not just about connectivity; it's about ensuring that everyone can participate in the digital economy safely and without fear of surveillance or harassment.
