What can I learn?
The Netherlands' leading digital-rights NGO: bi-weekly newsletter and podcast on municipal algorithms, the Digital Fairness Act, Big Brother Awards, and Big Tech dependency. The Dutch equivalent of La Quadrature.
Core insight

How to use it in daily work
Keeps you current on Dutch-specific digital rights issues and gives you concrete examples and cases to use with clients.
- When a Dutch municipality uses an algorithm to target benefit fraud investigations, Bits of Freedom will have reported on it — giving you case knowledge to help affected clients.

Note
