An organisation committed to fighting for people’s digital rights in the UK is celebrating its first birthday.

The Open Rights Group (Org) was founded last year on the back of an online pledge from 1,000 people to fund the group with £5 a month each.

To date 650 people have honoured that promise, enough to create part-time roles for two staff members.

“Information should be in the hands of people and not governments and business,” said Org’s Michael Holloway.
