Active Interventions

Our Initiatives

We don't limit ourselves to broad policy papers. Our initiatives dismantle platform monopolies, log deliberate telecommunications disruptions, and equip frontline activists and community lawyers with practical digital defense mechanisms across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Flagship Initiative
Terms of Service Teardowns

The Fair Terms Project: Cutting Through Platform Fine Print

Big tech companies take advantage of weak local oversight across Africa to impose standard-form user contracts they would never risk enforcing in Europe. We perform systematic line-by-line legal teardowns of popular apps, translating dense 40-page terms of service into plain English and challenging non-negotiable clauses that surrender user telemetry and privacy without due process.

Telemetry & Telecom Defense

Network Throttling Evidence & Election Integrity Monitoring

Deliberate bandwidth suppression during contested elections prevents citizen observers from reporting ballot irregularities. We record packet latency and DNS interference to provide verifiable evidence for legal challenges against arbitrary telecom directives.

Grassroots Defense

Frontline Legal Defense Clinics & Evidence Handling

Equipping youth organizers, community journalists, and public defenders with hands-on protocols to challenge warrantless device seizures, contest cybercrime charges, and authenticate digital evidence under local statutory rules.

Capacity Building

Digital Rights Fellowship & Policy Mentorship

Investing directly in the next cohort of African digital rights practitioners, technology researchers, and public-interest advocates through dedicated project stipends, strategic litigation mentorship, and cross-border research networks.

Open-Source Tooling

Offline-First Civic Tech & Secure Utilities

Supporting and distributing lightweight, verifiable privacy utilities built specifically for patchy internet conditions, low-bandwidth handsets, and environments vulnerable to state surveillance.
