About  [Edit]

FIPA's main objectives are twofold: First, to defend and improve public access to information in a world where quality of information and speed of access equals power.



Second, to defend personal privacy in a world where our personal information travels at the speed of light and its use is increasingly beyond our control. A world where a wide range of new technologies present grave threats to privacy.
