RE:SAFE strives for an open, free and responsible online space.
Social networks, platforms and online media should be an environment where the same values apply as in the classic (offline) environment: freedom of expression and the right to information along with personal responsibility; the right to criticize together with the protection of privacy; the right to irony and satire along with the protection of human dignity.
We actively participate in the public debate about the future of the digital environment, with the aim of promoting sensible innovation while protecting the principles of the democratic rule of law.
Our goals
Freedom of expression and human dignity
We strive to make the online space a safe place for free expression of opinions and seeking information with full respect for human dignity.
Developing digital literacy
We actively strengthen the digital skills and critical thinking of children and adults so that they can navigate the online world safely and with confidence.
Defense of free discussion
We protect the internet environment from abuse for unilateral censorship and restriction of pluralistic, open social debate.
Online Threat Education
We focus on early recognition of modern digital risks and dissemination of practical advice on how to effectively prevent them.
Support for fundamental rights
We systematically support and protect the interconnectedness of human dignity, freedom of expression, and the right to privacy as pillars of a free internet.

We consistently defend fundamental human rights in the digital era, with particular emphasis on uncompromising protection of personal data and private life.
Rights of online media users

Compliance with EU law and acts
We oversee the fair application of new European and national rules, such as the Digital Services Regulation (DSA), in everyday practice.
