La Quadrature

La Quadrature du Net is a French advocacy organization focused on the protection of digital rights, privacy, and civil liberties. It actively campaigns against mass surveillance, algorithmic monitoring, and the misuse of technology in public spaces. The organization is particularly vocal about issues related to governmental overreach during significant events like the Olympics, where increased surveillance measures are often introduced under the guise of security.

Among its initiatives, La Quadrature du Net tackles the controversial use of algorithmic surveillance in supermarkets, particularly highlighting the implications of technologies that infringe on personal privacy. They are also involved in legal battles against audio surveillance in public areas, successfully challenging its legality in court.

Additionally, the organization collaborates with various collectives to raise awareness and generate public discourse on issues of surveillance and discrimination, urging citizens to take action to prohibit algorithmic video monitoring in their municipalities. Through documentaries, public campaigns, and legal advocacy, La Quadrature du Net strives to foster a more equitable and transparent digital environment.
