Iceland is a strong supporter for net neutrality with strict privacy protection laws and freedom of the press. These factors have contributed to making Iceland a preferred destination for data centers. You can learn more about FlokiNET on [their blog](https://blog.flokinet.is). _{<a href="#top">Back to top.</a>} # Community Governance We not only value, but _need_ open discourse. Our initial feature set was developed together with our growing community of activists. Our aim is to secure a progressive community by design, while putting platform health before platform growth. Only organizations that are already on activist will be able to vouch for new organizations that apply to join. Together with experienced activists, we're selecting an initial group of organizations that have a proven track record of inclusivity and elevating underrepresented groups. We are still developing our operating principles and will always update them based on community decisions. Processes for flagging, banning, guidelines, and rules will always be determined collectively. _{<a href="#top">Back to top.</a>} # Localization <a href="https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/activist/activist"> <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/activist-org/Organization/main/resources/images/logos/WeblateLogo.png" width="125" alt="Visit the Weblate project" align="right"> </a> > [!IMPORTANT] > Want to join our translators working group?
