ℹ️ About

CapybaraNet exists to defend and promote three essential digital rights:

We believe individuals have the right to truthful and verifiable information, the right to privacy in their communications and daily lives, and the right to own and control their personal data.

In an increasingly connected world, these rights are under constant pressure from misinformation, surveillance, manipulation, and the unchecked collection of personal information. We work to help people understand these threats, verify information independently, protect their privacy, and maintain control over their digital lives.

Our mission is not to tell people what to think. Our mission is to provide the tools, research, and education that allow people to think critically, evaluate evidence, and make informed decisions for themselves.

Truth matters.

We promote evidence-based analysis, source verification, transparency, and intellectual honesty. We study disinformation, propaganda, influence operations, and digital manipulation so individuals can better distinguish fact from deception..

Freedom of speech is essential. Freedom from deception at industrial scale is also essential.

Privacy is a fundamental human right.

Every person deserves privacy in their communications, devices, homes, and personal affairs. We support technologies, policies, and practices that protect individuals from unwarranted surveillance, tracking, and exploitation.

Personal privacy is essential. No one should have to surrender it to participate in modern society.

Ownership matters..

Individuals should maintain ownership and control of their personal information. Data generated by a person belongs first to that person. Organizations that collect, process, or profit from personal information should do so only with informed consent and meaningful user control.

Personal data belongs to the individual. Control over that data should belong to the individual as well.
