Free Software Foundation Europe
Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to
control technology.
Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our lives. Free Software
gives everybody the rights to use, understand, adapt, and share
software. These rights help support other fundamental rights like
freedom of speech, freedom of press, and privacy.

Companies increasingly aim to control how users interact with their
content online, threatening user freedom. As more companies crack down
on browser extensions and other third-party software used by internet
users to customise their experiences, two recent German court cases on
adblockers could strengthen the legal case for user control over
technology.

In recent years we have focused on the policy and legal aspects of Router Freedom. Now, with the help of our Netherlands volunteer team, we are publishing the Router Freedom tech wiki, which provides information on the necessary steps you need to use and connect your own router. We need your help to get it printed!

The "Public Money - Public Code" campaign, as well as the "REUSE
Initiative" made me notice that the FSFE is an organization which
supports the same ideals that I do. I want to help them do more great
things, and so now I am proud FSFE supporter.

I hope that more and more people will understand the importance of being ethical in their digital life and thus consciously use Free Software and that we will have more and more volunteers from all over Europe.
