Abstract

epicenter.works is an association dedicated to advocating for digital rights. The organization states that technology is transforming society, which leads to changes in power structures and everyday life. The discourse on security, freedom, democracy, and civil rights has now extended to the digital realm. However, existing legislation in this area often fails to protect citizens’ rights, allowing states, companies, and organizations to exploit the lack of clear regulations. epicenter.works aims to navigate this complex landscape by prioritizing human rights and working towards a digital world that respects civil liberties. To achieve its goals, epicenter.works encourages people to engage in the ongoing debate and promotes an open and participatory society.
