ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Open Rights Group

Okay, so imagine you're playing with your toys, and you have some things that are yours and you don't want anyone else to take them away from you, right? Similarly, there are things on the internet that people create and put out there, like videos, music, pictures, and articles. The people who make these want to keep their things safe, too.

The Open Rights Group is like a big group of people who want to help keep these things safe for the people who make them. They work to make sure that everyone has the right to say and do what they want online without being censored or punished for it. This means that people can freely express themselves, just like you can freely play with your toys.

The Open Rights Group also wants to make sure that people's information and privacy are protected. This means that your secrets are safe, and nobody can learn your private information unless you want them to. Just like you might not want someone to know your special toy's name or where you hide it, the Open Rights Group wants to protect people's personal information.

So, in summary, the Open Rights Group is like a big helper for people who make things and want to keep them safe online. They also make sure that people can have their freedom of expression while also keeping their information private.
