Have you noticed that much of our exchange of ideas and content online takes place in entirely private places? This gives sites like Facebook and Youtube enormous power to control what we do and don't see. It's easy to miss content that disappears in an age when we are saturated with information. New Media Rights helps users know when these services can and cannot legally remove their content, terminate their accounts, restrict access to their own data, and republish their content. Your input helps us ensure they follow their own self-imposed rules, and respond to the interests of users. Get Involved! This is an important year for us, as a community, to together make New Media Rights sustainable for years to come. Please help us explore creative ways of funding our organization. If you have funding ideas, are aware of relevant grants, have volunteer grantwriting skills, or otherwise want to discuss making this community sustainable far into the future, get involved by writing to support@newmediarights.org Donate today Our new Policy Center We apply the trends that we are seeing in our one-to-one assistance to improve media policy.
