Mission
CPSR is a public-interest alliance of people concerned about the impact
of information and communications technology on society. We work to
influence decisions regarding the development and use of computers
because those decisions have far-reaching consequences and reflect our
basic values and priorities. As experts on ICT issues, CPSR members
provide realistic assessments of the power, promise, and limitations of
computer technology. As concerned citizens, we direct public attention
to critical choices concerning the applications of computing and how
those choices affect society.
By sponsoring international, national, and local projects, CPSR serves as a catalyst for in-depth discussion and effective action in key areas.
Every project we undertake is based on five principles:
