Digitale Gesellschaft

Digitale Gesellschaft (literally, Digital Society) is a German registered association founded in 2010, that is committed to civil rights and consumer protection in terms of internet policy.

[1] One of the aims of the interest group is to build a campaign infrastructure, and also to reach people who are not internet-savvy.

Their founder, Beckedahl stated that "more effective advocacy toward politics and economy" is also a part of their mission.

According to Beckedahl, the small number of full members is necessary to build an infrastructure before opening up to more people.

[4] In 2013, they led a demonstration at Checkpoint Charlie, during Barack Obama's visit, against the NSA surveillance program PRISM.
