A coalition of nearly forty companies and civil-liberties groups has announced a new day of action against mass surveillance, for the first anniversary of Snowden's revelation, this Thursday, June 5th, 2014: Reset The Net.

To celebrate this anniversary, please read this article, signed by Lionel Allorge, April president, and Frédéric Couchet, April executive director, and published in February 2014 in the popular French newspaper Libération: "After Snowden: Prioritising Free Software for Computing You Can Trust".
