InternetLab is an independent think tank focused on human rights and digital technologies. It is based in São Paulo, Brazil, and since 2014 works as a non-profit organization. As a human rights organization, we believe that the digital environment must be vibrant, creative, inclusive, protective to fundamental rights, an enabler to the quality of the democratic public sphere, and a promoter of social justice – which implies that the decisions of state and private agents are always under critical analysis. We deliver sophisticated, evidence-based, and impact-oriented social and legal research, as well as analysis to identify and clarify critical issues, thereby helping to build the intellectual and evidential foundation for public awareness, action, and policymaking.

In a highly-connected continent with deep inequalities, a heavy legacy of censorship and authoritarianism, and large social, racial and gender divides, internet and other information technologies now penetrate our most pressing current political, democratic, social, economical and environmental challenges. Promoting human rights in technology and working towards inclusive and democratic policies can no longer be seen as “just a technological issue”.
