A progressive voice of the digital age, we are fighting for our digital freedoms in software, hardware and on the Internet. We watch for corporate abuse as well as promote knowledge and educate people about the dangers our rights currently face such as DRM and software patents. We do this with a focus on the Free Software movement and the ideals presented by the EFF, FSF, ACLU, and the hacker ethic.
Please support our social mission.

Binary Freedom is an organization that is organized to chapters internationally that are freely-associated with the Binary Freedom national chapter (this site). Currently we have one chapter in Boston. We believe that like in the real world, we must fight to maintain our rights online. We must not only defend our rights that are purely digital, but use technology to help the real life struggle for equality and social justice and continue that same struggle in the online world. Just because an action occurs in the name of Binary Freedom doesn't mean it was done by the National Chapter or our freely-associated chapters, but it just signifies that the action is in line with the ideals that surround Binary Freedom. BinaryFreedom means the struggle for freedom and fairness in the digital world. We put the ideas of the free software movement, FSF, EFF, Freeculture, and any other organization that fights for social justice into the streets through direct action. Many of our ideals and rationale for our actions can be found in the Dot Communist Manifesto.
