Global Network Initiative

The Global Network Initiative (GNI) is a multi-stakeholder organization that promotes the responsible conduct of internet companies regarding users’ rights to privacy and free expression. It brings together companies, civil society groups, academics, and others to develop guidelines ensuring that business practices respect human rights, especially in countries with restrictive regimes. The GNI encourages transparency, accountability, and sharing best practices to balance security and economic interests with individual freedoms, fostering a more open and trustworthy internet environment worldwide.
