Network

/!\ UPDATE IN PROGRESS /!\

La Quadrature du Net fights for the Internet’s infrastructure so it can be used and deployed by everyone, as easily as possible and in compliance with Net Neutrality. In particular, it supports and promotes associative Internet access providers by attempting to change the existing law and by publishing legal guides.

Promote a human-scale development

La Quadrature du Net campaigns for the evolution of the law so that it facilitates the access to the Internet and the development of the network by actors on a human scale: associations, libraries, individuals …
