Who are we?

What is La Quadrature?

La Quadrature du Net is an non-profit association defending the rights and freedoms of citizens on the Internet. More specifically, it advocates for the adaptation of French and European legislations to respect the founding principles of the Internet, most notably the free circulation of knowledge. As such, La Quadrature du Net engages in public-policy debates concerning, for instance, freedom of expression, copyright, regulation of telecommunications and online privacy.

In addition to its advocacy work, the group also aims to foster a better understanding of legislative processes among citizens. Through specific and pertinent information and tools, La Quadrature du Net hopes to encourage citizens' participation in the public debate on rights and freedoms in the digital age.

The “Strategic Directions Council”

The “Directions Council”, responsible for making strategic decisions, is composed of 6 members, mostly founders of La Quadrature du Net:

Although Gérald Sedrati-Dinet was a founding member of La Quadrature du Net, he did not wish to take part on this Council.

They are assisted by:

  • Mélissa Richard, in charge of coordinating La Quadrature's community of volunteers and supports.
  • Yoann Spicher, in charge of campaigning and coordination.
  • Marie Walrafen, in charge of administration and logistics.

The collective is composed of many citizens, nationals of various countries, who contribute to the advancement of the actions and ideas of La Quadrature du Net.

Support

La Quadrature du Net exists thanks to a great number of individual donations. They represent more than half of our funding and ensure our independence. The actions of volunteers have an even higher value.

La Quadrature is also supported by French, European and International NGOs, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Open Society Institute and Privacy International.
