About Algopolio · Boilerplate for editors

ALGOPOLIO is an independent association that brings together jurists, technologists, artists and ordinary people around a simple, radical idea: the power of the algorithm cannot be worth more than human dignity. We fight for a web where people are not numbers to be profiled but individuals to be protected; where automated decisions are transparent; where reputation, data and freedom are not at the mercy of a few global players.
