About

Net politics was his hobby until he worked intensively as a policy advisor for European Digital Rights (EDRi) on the EU law on net neutrality. Thomas was one of the driving forces behind the www.savetheinternet.eu campaign and has a strong work focus on net neutrality, data protection and mass surveillance. He has been active at epicenter.works since 2010 and has been the association’s managing director since 2014. He also writes on Netzpolitik.org, is a regular guest on the podcast Logbuch:Netzpolitik and a non-residential fellow at the Center of Internet and Society at Stanford Law School.
