The world relies on a secure and trustworthy Internet.
Every minute of every hour, people connect with one another online, sharing information, ideas, and dreams.
Working with our global community, we help make the Internet a trustworthy place. Together, we advocate to keep the Internet resilient and functioning—secure wherever it reaches.
What Is the Splinternet?
You open your favorite search engine—only to be routed to a government-approved source. You try to access social media, but it’s blocked. This is the splinternet, where fragmented networks are controlled by governments or corporations, and this is what it’s like for millions of people across the world. Some countries only allow residents to access sites the government deems “safe.” Other countries want to follow their lead. If we let it gain ground it’ll destroy the Internet as we know it—and the human progress it makes possible.
We make sure policy and technology developments support what the Internet needs to remain a global resource for everyone. Learn how you can get involved.
