:A resource for digital rights issues in the United Kingdom
==Who we are==
'''[https://www.openrightsgroup.org/ Open Rights Group]''' is a fast-growing Non-Government Organisation focused on raising awareness of issues such as internet freedoms, data protection, privacy and copyright reform. [https://www.openrightsgroup.org/about/history Founded in 2005] by a pledge from 1,000 members, the Open Rights Group is funded by small grants and donations from supporters. Our activities include organising campaigns, lobbying government, and helping journalists find experts and alternative voices for stories.
The last decade has included a wide number of digital rights issues in the UK, ranging from privacy concerns brought up by [[Biometric passport|biometric passports]] and [[National Vehicle Tracking Database|vehicle tracking systems]] to overly restrictive copyright law and enforcement mechanisms such as the [[Digital Economy Act]]. We have never needed an organisation like the Open Rights Group more than we do now. The implications of the digitisation of information and the ease with which such data can be now moved about are vast, and where physical restraints - such as having only paper copies of medical records - once helped secure our privacy, now it is only through unwavering vigilance that we will be able to prevent the abuse of our digital rights.
