The Calyx Institute - Privacy Protecting ISP

Imagine...a telecommunications company that prioritizes privacy over profits.

Enter https://www.calyxinstitute.org/

The Calyx Institute is poised to turn this prospect into reality by launching the first not-just-for-profit telephone and Internet service as part of its research into privacy technology. Calyx's charter directs it to use all legal and technical resources available to protect the rights of its constituents and customers.

Activities include:

- Promoting 'best practices' with regard to privacy and freedom of expression within the telecommunications industry
- Conducting research into privacy technology for the Telecommunications and Internet Provider industries
- Providing a ‘test bed’ environment for the development and deployment of secure voice, data and mobile services
- Legal advocacy and defense

Calyx is seeking start-up funding and needs your support!
