Who We Are

We are volunteers united by a shared understanding: digital freedom is not a luxury. It's survival.

The team behind sudo[freedom].org comes from diverse professional backgrounds. Engineers, designers, educators, journalists, activists, and technologists. What binds us together is not our careers, but our commitment to human dignity in the digital age.

Why We Do This

Some of us have lived under authoritarian regimes. We've seen firsthand how surveillance technology becomes a weapon against dissent, how corrupt governments use digital tools to silence opposition, and how compromised judicial systems turn personal data into evidence of thought-crime.

Others have witnessed the slow erosion of privacy in so-called free societies, where corporate surveillance has become so normalized that people surrender their most intimate details for the promise of convenience.

We've all reached the same conclusion: the line between corporate surveillance and state oppression is thinner than most people realize.

Our Diverse Expertise

Our volunteer network spans continents and disciplines:

Technical specialists who understand the architecture of surveillance and know how to build alternatives.

Educators and communicators who translate complex concepts into actionable guidance.

Community organizers who reach underserved populations and build grassroots support.

Legal and policy experts who understand the regulatory landscape and rights frameworks.

Those living in exile who carry the urgent knowledge of what happens when digital rights disappear entirely.

What Drives Us

We work without pay because we've seen what's at stake. We've experienced systems where privacy violations aren't just inconvenient but life-threatening. Where the wrong search history, the wrong association, or the wrong political opinion can destroy lives.

We know that today's convenience becomes tomorrow's control mechanism.

This is why we dedicate our time to building practical pathways out of digital dependence. Why we create resources that work for everyone, not just the technically savvy. Why we refuse corporate funding that might compromise our independence.

Our Commitment to You

We don't sell products. We don't harvest data. We don't accept money from the same companies whose surveillance we're helping you escape.

Our motivation is simple: we want to live in a world where technology serves humanity, not the other way around.

Every guide we write, every workshop we conduct, every piece of open-source software we support moves us closer to that world.

We are sudo[freedom].org. We are your neighbors, your colleagues, your fellow humans who refuse to accept digital oppression as inevitable.

Join us. The future of human freedom may depend on it.
