The Center for Digital Democracy is a small Washington, DC–based organization focused on shaping digital policy to protect privacy, civil and human rights, and equity in the digital ecosystem. It conducts research-led initiatives aimed at influencing policymakers, corporate leaders, the news media, civil society, and the general public, with attention to privacy, fair treatment in the digital marketplace, youth protection, and responsible use of data in political campaigns and public health contexts. The organization seeks accountability from technology platforms, content providers, data companies, advertisers, and other stakeholders for their conduct in the digital marketplace. Based in Washington, DC, it operates with a small staff focused on policy work and advocacy to advance democratic values. A notable development in its history is the 2020 filing of a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission against TikTok over alleged privacy violations involving users under 13.
