Tactical Technology Collective

2003) is an international nongovernmental organization that engages with citizens and civil-society organisations to explore and mitigate the impacts of technology on society.

Their work can be most easily categorised by their two main audience groups: The first is a much broader audience, grown from the increased public awareness and demand for public education around online privacy, security and wellbeing in a data-driven world.

Through projects like The Glass Room and the Data Detox Kit, they find creative and accessible formats to demystify technology and give people actionable, sustainable changes to make in their own digital lives.

The second audience group is made up of civil society actors, such as journalists, other NGOs or human rights defenders, with whom they work to create safer, more robust and more informed practices with regard to their use of digital technologies.

Projects such as Exposing the Invisible help empower people to use digital investigations to uncover truth or corruption.
