Founded in 2017, Status has grown to over 90 core contributors. The last 18 months has been a period of growth, attracting a large community who ardently seek to defend human rights.

Why Status?

Big tech platforms and other centralised actors have the power to siphon people's data, sell it to the highest bidder or use it as a tool to commodify and control behaviour. Jarrad and Carl saw this as an unconscionable affront to human decency, solidifying the goals and focus of the organisation.View our manifesto
