Jeremie Zimmermann

LaQuadrature du Net

In digital era, natural flow of information cannot be controlled by laws or technologies without compromising civil liberties, economic and social development. For that reason, Jérémie Zimmermann and his associates founded an organization five years ago, and called it LaQuadrature du Net - after an unresolvable mathematical problem ‘squaring the circle‘.

His team is engaged in major advocacy of digital rights, with focus on topics such as freedom of speech, copyright, communications control and online privacy, all for the sake of free flow and distribution of knowledge in the world.

Jérémie has been globally recognized as an expert in digital rights. He appeared with Julian Assange on Episode 8 and Episode 9 of The World Tomorrow, "Cypherpunks: 1/2", and has also contributed to Assange's 2012 book Cypherpunks: Freedom and the Future of the Internet along with Jacob Appelbaum and Andy Müller-Maguhn.
