The basic themes of impact are:
Battling misinformation
Telling local stories
Boosting digital revenues

“The link tax is a fatal threat to the free and open Internet worldwide, and we won’t stand for it. OpenMedia is driving calls to MEPs across Europe and lobbying the EU Parliament directly to vote down the link tax.”
