There’s so much more to tell. We’re still tallying up the numbers and collecting all the amazing stories of how the Internet came together to defend itself.

And, we’re making the biggest announcement of all. Reset the Net was not just a single day of action. We’re going to continue this campaign as a longterm, concerted effort to directly  block dragnet government surveillance from as much of the Internet as we can.

Each month we’ll be announcing a new wave of participants who are helping Reset the Net, and escalating our demands on the largest tech companies to ensure that they’re taking the most meaningful and concrete steps they possibly can to protect our privacy.

This is only the beginning. But it was a HUGE beginning. Click here to see how much of the web we already protected on June 5th.

Thanks for being part of this. We’ll be in touch soon with the next steps.

Sincerely,
Evan, Tiffiniy, Holmes, Kevin, Vasjen, Jessica
