The CYRILLA Collaborative

The CYRILLA Collaborative is a global initiative established in 2019 with the goal to map and analyse the evolution and impacts of legal frameworks in digital environments. CYRILLA is an open, federated online database that facilitates and accelerates the sharing, comparison, visualisation, and interoperability of legal information on digital rights.

The Collaborative consists of five organisations: The Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Technology Law (CIPIT), Social Media Exchange (SMEX), Association for Progressive Communications (APC), Derechos Digitales (DD), and Columbia Global Freedom of Expression (CGFoE). At its core, CYRILLA organises and makes accessible legislation and case law that affects human rights in digital environments so that a wide range of actors can readily assess legal trends and their impacts in digitally networked spaces.
