Our public policy efforts also encompass a broader range of issues, in addition to privacy policy, that advance the open, innovative, user-centric Internet. We&#8217;re engaging actively in a number of different forums, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>With the FCC and Congress on <strong>net neutrality<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li>With civil society, industry, and the U.S. government on <strong>cybersecurity<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li>With the European Commission on <strong>competition policy<\/strong> and <strong>data protection<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li>In South America on <strong>civil rights online<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li>At the Internet Governance Forum and other international venues on <strong>Internet governance<\/strong>; and<\/li>\n<li>With a global, diverse range of stakeholders on <strong>copyright<\/strong> and <strong>patent<\/strong> issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mozilla brings a unique voice to open Internet advocacy. Our products, such as the Firefox browser and Firefox OS, have half a billion users and compete toe-to-toe with the world\u2019s largest and wealthiest tech companies, and break new ground in engineering innovation and invention. At the same time, Mozilla is a principle-over-profit organization, where both public policy and product decisions are made with only our users in mind, in sync with advancing our mission. Perhaps most importantly, though, we are a community, seeking out and incorporating input and collaborations from contributors around the world who share our vision.<\/p>\n<p>We hope to bring Mozilla\u2019s unique voice to more public policy conversations in 2014, to help preserve and advance the open, user-centered, small-d democratic, free (as in speech) Internet, so that its benefits can be realized around the world.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, we are launching this blog to share updates on our work and on the dynamic context of open Internet policy. Last week\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/technology\/court-creates-new-game-for-web-access-in-america\/2014\/01\/14\/539c9a2a-7d3e-11e3-95c6-0a7aa80874bc_story.html\">court decision on net neutrality in the U.S.<\/a> makes this launch particularly timely.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to join us, keep your eyes open for opportunities to join Mozilla and friends campaigns, like <a href=\"https:\/\/optin.stopwatching.us\">StopWatching.Us<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Want to contribute more?
