The Czech watchdog organization Iuridicum Remedium stands behind the program Digital Freedom. The aim of the program is to defend individual freedoms
in a not yet fully mapped out territory of the digital world. We do not seek to return to live in the trees or
communicate through smoke signals: we just want to make sure that fundamental freedoms, rights and equal
treatment are fully respected in the digital world as well.
We are on the lookout for control tools (biometric cameras), data storage (medical registries), and the risks of
"datification" of all kinds: whether it occurs voluntarily through payment cards and mobile applications or
intentionally in the form of proposed bills. At the same time, however, the program seeks to preserve analog
alternatives that allow people not to participate in the digital world at all: either because for various
reasons they cannot (digital exclusion) or simply because they do not want to.
Digital freedoms are the common voice of all who care that freedom will
not lose its meaning in the digital space.
Programme Digital freedoms is realized as part of Digital watchdog
project. Project duration: 1.4.2020-31.3.2022
The project is being supported by the Open Society Fund Prague from the Active Citizens Fund. The programme
promotes citizens’ active participation in the public life and decision making and builds capacities of civil
society organizations. The Active Citizens Fund is financed from the EEA and Norway Grants.
Technika automaticky rozpoznávající obličeje, kterou blazeovaně a bez potřebné zákonné opory u nás touží rozšiřovat Policie České republiky, obnáší zásadní rizika, jak vidíme dnes v Číně. Evropská občanská společnost se staví na odpor. Více v našem komentáři po Deník Referendum.
