These efforts enhance digital integrity by deterring and exposing disruptions and shutdowns, deterring and mitigating potentials for internet-based attacks on critical infrastructure and offering recommendations for improving internet governance and digital policy to build more resilient and decentralised networks.The initiative also seeks to promote public confidence as the internet’s usage evolves to new form factors and to promote safe, secure and private citizen participation through platforms that are free of censorship and unreasonable restrictions while enshrining transparency, fundamental human rights and the rule of law
